Close Programs
How do you close another program that is open from within your program? For instance, whenever I run my program, I want it to close all open applications.

I cannot answer your question, but whoever can will first need to know what OS you're trying this in. Windows? Linux? OS9? CP/M?

In Linux, you should be able to send a TERM signal to the other processes. In Windows, I think it will involve shell programming, possibly Windows Script Host. But we will need to know the OS first.
