// System.Diagnostics namespace
Process[] procs = Process.GetProcessesByName("EXPLORE");
if (procs[0].Responding )
    MessageBox.Show("EXPLORE is Responding");
    else
    MessageBox.Show("EXPLORE is Not Responding");
else
    MessageBox.Show("EXPLORE is Not Running");
if (procs[0].Responding)
procs[0].CloseMainWindow();
else
    procs[0].Kill();
    }
catch
    {
    MessageBox.Show("Could Not Find the EXPLORE Process");
    }

Hi,

Just a quick observation, I think the code is missing an if clause.

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Process []p = Process.GetProcessesByName("Opera.exe");
if (p.Length != 0)
{
if (p[0].Responding)
{
label1.Text = "Explorer Responding";
//p[0].CloseMainWindow();
}
else
{
label1.Text = "Explorer Not Responding";
//p[0].Kill();
}
}
else
{
label1.Text = "Explorer not running";
}

If memory serves, the name of the process should be "Opera", not
"Opera.exe".
