SuperF4

kill programs with Ctrl+Alt+F4

Our Rating: (Good!)

SuperF4 enables you to kill the current foreground process by simply pressing Ctrl+Alt+F4 on your keyboard. Unlike the standard Alt+F4 command which only attempts to terminate the process but does not force it to close, SuperF4 will effectively kill it, no questions asked (unsaved data is lost though). The program can come very handy if an application is freezing your system to the point where you can`t even get the Windows TaskManager to open, leaving you with no options other than to reboot your system. SuperF4 will take care of the problem in most cases.
