What include file is needed?

[LAfSLyTq]

ive tried #include <iostream, Windows.h> and thats all that comes to my mind.

signal.h

[LAfSLyTq]

can somone tell me why

Process::Kill("IExplorer.exe");

does not work?

[MrHutch]

Isn't the Internet Explorer process called iexplore.exe?

[LAfSLyTq]

Yes, im using it as an example.
it says Kill cannot take 1 arguements

The method you're trying to call does not take any input parameters. What would happen if there was more than one IExplorer.exe process?

Is this the function you talk about? http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.diagnostics.process.kill.aspx
It doesn't take any arguments. It just kills the current process.

[Moschops]

If you told us what you're trying to do, we might be able to suggest a simpler method.

im just trying to close down a specific program using Process::Kill();
anything will work if it shuts down the program.

i also have now tried system("taskkill notepad.exe");
