Here's the deal - I telnet to a network device and that session times out. The telnet window in XP remains open with the words "connection to host lost". But I can not kill that window. If I open task manager and find the telnet in Applications tab - I can click it and click End but that will have no effect. Telnet does not appear in Processes tab else I'd nuke it there. Clicking on the x in the upper right of the telnet window has no effect. The only way I know to get rid of this is to shut down Windows by removing power from the computer - which of course you're not supposed to do. Anyone know how to nuke such a zombie window??

Good thought on the cmd.exe. But I nuked the three cmd.exe processes and there are no more yet the window remains open.

it's not saved as telnet or anything like that.
it's shown as NTVDM.exe if you end that , the zombie window will go to hell

When you're in the task manager, click on the processes tab and end the cmd.exe process.
