Super f4

What is it?

Super f4 is a small footprint program that allows you to kill applications at lightning like speeds. If you press Alt+f4 it gives you a skull and cross bones cursor, then you can click on the program that you want to kill with it. If you press ctrl+alt+f4 it will close the foreground process.

Why would I want it?

When you end a process through task manager, you aren't really killing it. It's more of an asking it politely to clean up and close. If you use Super f4 instead it kills it much faster.

Are there any downsides?

Yes. I've killed my windows explorer (the program that puts the start menu at the bottom of your screen and displays your icons) several times on accident already. A simple fix though... press ctrl+alt+delete, start task manager, and then launch windows explorer.

Where can I get it?
