How to end a not responding program quickly


Ever been jammed into one of those not responding loops? Lets say Firefox stops responding. You repeatedly click "End now" but it just freezes up your computer.

Here's how to get out of the loop and end your program efficiently and quickly.

In this case, you are trying to end "Explorer". Instead of hitting "End now":

1: Find the process. Firefox is firefox.exe.
2: Hit end process
You should see a warning. Hit ok.

Poof! It's gone!
