Annotations:

Right-click the desktop → New → Text Document

Give your text document a name, and open it.

Insert the commands. For example commands see video description.

The taskill command tells your PC to kill a specified task.

Add /F if you want to force the taskkill; you won't get a change to save files openend in the program.

Type /IM in front of every program name you want to close to specify the program.(IMagename).

If you want to include windows explorer (explorer.exe), add "start explorer.exe" at the end of the file, as explorer.exe also includes the taskbar, menu, and desktop functionality.

Save and exit the file.

Change the file extension of the .txt file to .bat to make it into a batch file.
