FIX:
In the windows environment, sometimes you can not kill processes from the task manager because of user permissions. Utilities such as Kill.exe and tlist.exe allows you to see the active process running on the server so that the desired process can be terminated without having to reboot the entire system. This is most necessary when the process is hung and a system reboot is not feasible in a production environment.
