How to close/kill the running task using DOS

How to close/kill the running task using DOS 
to see the running task
go to cmd
type "tasklist", hit enter
it will show u the link of running task with PID "Process Identity"
to kill specific task look at its PID number and type in cmd
" tskill ", hit enter
eg. "tskill 1320"
or u can also use the process name
eg. "tskill vlc.exe"


this will kill only easily killing task
for forcefully kill task u have to use PSKILL, which u can get through Microsoft SysInternal page,
download PStool 
download n install it
and use the same syntax as we have used in tskill command
