KillProc : Kills processes, lists modules in the processes

Changes

Initial Version

Installation

None.

Notes

KillProc kills processes.

But first it lists all the modules in all the processes currently running !? Why? I don't know.

I was working in a multi-process environment where I had to tear down 6 or 7 processes every few minutes. I thought it would be a good idea to kill a process using it's pid. I found a snippet of code to kill a process (from the MS site?). That became very tedious, so I modified it to kill all the processes I wanted dead. Eventually, for some reason, I added code to dump out all the modules in all the processes.

Anyway, all of this is superseded by:

Windows Task Manager
pview (and others)

OK, maybe you can use it as a nice example of the following:

psapi dll
GetModuleFileNameEx
GetModuleBaseName
EnumProcessModules
OpenProcess
EnumProcesses
TerminateProcess

Wait...these api's all have nice little examples in MSDN. This app is even more useless than I thought.
