I hate to debug there due to several Vista incompatibilities with my code and having to boot when I run into that API.

You would have to use EnumProcesses, GetModuleFileNameEx, OpenProcess, then TerminateProcess. If you search for all these functions, you will find a sample.

Chances are there is a better work around that the anticipation of crashes.
