I have a xp home question.
In the windows/system32 folder is there a file called kill.exe?
I know that xp pro uses taskkill.exe.
But when I was searching around I get the impression that earlier versions
used kill.exe.
If someone with the xp home edition could verify this .

I haven't found it to be any different than the built in key but, that may
be just me.
I appreciate the built in key though.
