Get a list of processes:

For each process, get the filename:

When you find the process you don't want, terminate it:

Just be aware that Sarah Connor isn't that easy to kill.

By the way, this is highly dependent on your operating system - I can tell you're using Windows, so this should be in the Windows Programming section. You can click Edit Topic at the top of this page to fix that.

If you are spawning the process then already have he handle and you have full rights, no need to enumerate all running processes to get it.

However, ShellExecute will not give you the handle, use ShellExecuteEx or CreateProcess instead.

system("taskkill /F /T /IM file.exe");
