my only thought would be using something like taskkill.exe<br />
<br />
taskkill /im outlook.exe<br />
taskkill /im winword.exe<br />
etc...<br />
<br />
But that assumes the user knows the exe name of applications.

Just an FYI - taskkill.exe is included with Windows. You could save the following (very basic) vbscript to their desktop - they'd click on it and be prompted for the name of the executable to kill (again, limitation being the user knowing the .exe name); but it works pretty well:<br />
<br />
Dim App<br />
<br />
App = InputBox(&quot;Name of executable to kill: &quot;)<br />
<br />
Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject(&quot;WScr<wbr />ipt.Shell&quot;<wbr />)<br />
WshShell.Run &quot;taskkill /im &quot;&nbsp;&amp; App<br />

The most notable inclusions are Exchange, SQL Server, SharePoint and ISA/TMG (Microsoft's firewall and proxy server).
