Yesterday I had the following problem:

my Chrome browser crashed and my system began to crawl. I decided to kill the chrome process, but as multiple tabs have been opened, I would need to kill multiple chrome processes (each tab runs in a seperate process in Chrome). Loading the gui of the task manager in a very slowly responsive system and killing each process seperately was not a good option, so I decided to do the following:

• I opened a command prompt (start->run->cmd)

• Then I typed:

         taskkill /F /FI "IMAGENAME eq chrome*"

• And that was it. All processes named chrome have been killed with a single click.

But, let’s examine the parameters of the command:

 /F: force kill the process

/FI "IMAGENAME eq chrome*": use a filter and kill every process that has a name that begins with chrome.

for more information about the command, open a command prompt (start->run->cmd) and  type:

taskkill/?

The easiest way to extract images from a Microsoft Word document (ms word *.doc files) is the following:

• Open the file with Microsoft Word
• Select File -> Save as ->
• Change the Save as type of file (it is just below the filename) to Web Page (*.htm,*.html)
• Press Save
• You will notice that a new folder has been created inside the folder in which you saved your file called filename_files, where filename is the name of your document. If you browse this folder, you can find all the documents images.

In order to type the current date in a Microsoft Excel Cell, one must do the following:

1. Left Click on the cell

2. Press Ctrl + ;
