I was looking for a way to kill running tasks in from the command line in XP, and I came across information about the command line utility taskkill.exe. This does the trick but isn't available in XP Home. It will work with XP Home however.
I used to have a link to download taskkill.exe, but considering Microsoft might not be too keen on me redistributing their software, I now offer a link to a free suite of utilities PsTools provided by Microsoft, that contains the utility PsKill. PsKill will do the same job as taskkill.exe
Follow this link and you'll find a description of PsKill and a download link for the PsTools suite.

[ thanks for the tip Anonymous ;-) ]
If you're still determined to download taskkill.exe from somewhere good luck.
Here is Microsoft's documentation on taskkill.exe: M$ taskkill.exe documentation and here are some usage examples from computerhope: Computerhope taskkill.exe help
