Préférences

"Close window"simply send the standard close command that close a window on Microsoft Windows systems. It is the softest method known by WixKill, but also the less efficent. Indeed, a stuked program can't handle such a command. In many case when you close a program main window, this might close that program too.

"Exit thread" is an intermédiate method that will exit a part of a program (a thread) and all window associated. Depending on the program, it will be able or not to continue working. This methode is armfull for a program, but still softer than next methods.

"Kill thread", as previous methode, will kill a part of a program (a thread) and all window associated. Depending on the program, it will be able or not to continue working. This methode is very close to the last method that consist in killing a process in its whole.

"Kill process" is the most armfull method, but the more efficient to kick away any bothering window or process.

Tips: During window tracking process, you can press at any time keys "Ctrl", "Alt" or "Shift" to temporarly change window close command:
"Ctrl" = "Close window",
"Alt" = "Exit thread",
"Shift" = "Kill thread",
"Ctrl" + "Alt" = "Kill process". ( "Shift" + "Alt" or "Ctrl" + "Shift" works to)
