Process doesn't die

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Hi all,
I am new to .NET so this problem may not be a problem to this groups
readers.
I am learning .NET and I have built programs and lauched them within
the IDE. Occassionally my program's process won't end with the program
completing (by using the window's X button). In fact I cannot manually
terminate the process with the Task Manager. This is frustrating since
I cannot rebuild the program without the executable completing.
Question: Has anybody seen this issue? Is there another way to kill a
process in windows other than the task manager? In Unix you would kill
-9 but I don't know how to kill a process from the CMD prompt in
windows.
