The Win32 Process class provides access to both 32-bit and 64-bit processes when the script is run from a 64-bit command shell   If this is not an option for you  you can try using the taskkill command   Dim oShell   Set oShell   CreateObject  WScript Shell      Launch notepad   oShell Run  notepad  WScript Sleep 3000    Kill notepad   oShell Run  taskkill  im notepad exe     True
