   As a matter of fact, I did.   It didn't make a difference - likely because   
   taskkill first tries to ask nicely, and only if that doesn't work applies   
   force.   
      
   And as wordpad most likely responds to being asked nicely the "force" method   
   is never used.

   Whooo!  Yes, thats quite the long shot. :-)   
      
   But alas, when I tried that I didn't see that happen.
