Downloaded from link.  ini file still appears the same as yesterday.  You made some change to it?

I see the new RunAndKill is version 1.0.2.0, as would be expected today.

B I N G O !!!

Nuked that baby!!!!

And..., icon in system tray was different this latest time.  Instead of generic, was the icon of program to be nuked.

Great job, Christopher.  Mission accomplished.

Thanks much.

You might want to change the ini file to say time is "third" parameter, instead of "second", for those wanting to use command line.

As a possible enhancement, though not at all necessary, would be to show somewhere how much time remains before program termination.  Just a thought.

Well. I just made a quick update. :-) If you put your cursor over the icon it will show how much time is left. It doesn't update as showing, will have to move your mouse and hover over again to see the updated time, but I think it works well.
