SuperF4 kills the foreground program when you press Ctrl+Alt+F4. This is different from when you press Alt+F4. Alt+F4 only asks the foreground program to exit, allowing it to decide for itself what to do.

You can also kill a process by pressing [the windows key]+F4 and then clicking the window with your mouse. Note that the mouse cursor does not change to reflect that SuperF4 is in this mode. You can press escape or the right mouse button to exit this mode without killing a program.

SuperF4 should be able to kill all kinds of processes, whether they are hung or not. Beware though, SuperF4 effectively kills the program and doesn’t give it a chance to save unsaved work etc…

People usually use the keyboard shortcut “Win+D” or press the “Show Desktop” button in the Quick Launch Bar to access desktop, but unfortunately it isn’t very convenient: If you like to keep 20+ programs running at the same time (just like me), the progress will take a few seconds. What’s worse, you can’t come back to the previous window instantly after running a program or opening a document from the desktop, you have to look for it in the taskbar and your train of thought is often interrupted.
Desk Topmost allows the desktop float on the top instead of minimizing all the windows. It’s 100% clean and FREE!
