Using the Kill User Specific Process custom activity you can easily kill the applications running for a specific user account. This activity is very useful when using High-Density robots.In High-Density robot architecture a single machine will run multiple instances of robots. In this case, the default Kill Process activity will kill the process for all the machine's active users that are currently running that process. Things to note:Make sure that the Process name is the same as shown in the windows task manager. You can find your application process name by checking the "Details" tab on the Windows Task Manager.<ul><li>There is no need to add the file type (.exe) to the process name.</li><li>If there are no usernames specified, the target application will be killed for all user instances.</li><li>If a username is specified, it must be the same as the one displayed in the Windows Users list.</li></ul>To check the Users list, type on your keyboard the Windows + R keys.When the Run window is displayed type "CMD" and access the command prompt window.Type "NET USERS" and the available users will be listed.

I trying to kill Internet Explorer process (iexplore), but I don't have success.

The return message is "Process name or Username is not correct. Process name must be same as shown in the windows task manager, and username must be same as shown in the windows user management", but if I change the process to EXCEL the activity is working verry well.

My process name is "AcroRd32" and username is "slogesh". I provided the same parameters in properties windows against this process.

But when i test this activity, nothing happens. What could be the problem?

Will it work with HD Bots? I am trying to run this in my system, with my username and process name, it is not working. Can you pelase help? 

When I try to kill my Chrome by using process name "chrome", it doesn't work for most of times. And I'm wondering if you can tell me why.

I am also experiencing the problem with chrome. I provided the process name as "chrome" and username as "Administrator" but it is not working.

The same method is working for other applications.
