Checking the Task Manager, either Processes tab or Applications tab, if I see Firefox.exe still listed but no browser window open, then I know it did not close down properly. Then it is OK for me to highlight the Firefox.exe entry and click the End Process button. So, the Task Manager is useful. But it needs handling with care. Sure you can end the realshed.exe process if you wish and the computer system will not blow up or otherwise expire, but perhaps you can tell us why you want to do this. It might help us give you better advice.

In reply to: How to end a process safely in task manager? Or, formulated otherwise, what's (in your definition) the difference between safe and unsafe ending of a process? And can you tell if you're talking about any particular process?

[–]frankenmine 5 points6 points7 points 2 years ago* (7 children) End process ends the process. End process tree ends the process and all the child processes it has started throughout its runtime. These connotations are the same in all operating systems and contexts. Though if you kill the parent, the children usually die anyway if you don't jump through extra hoops.
