Kill window or application just like linux do

Is there any way to kill or force closed a particular hanging window or hanging application by selecting it with some hotkey? Similar to Ctrl+Alt+Esc and select window in Ubuntu?

(I may be misremembering the exact key shortcut used in Ubuntu; I just remember some key combination does that.)

Solution 1:

Ctrl+Shift+ESC to show Task Manager, on the Processes tab, right-click the offending process and choose "End Process"

Personally I replace Task Manager with Process Explorer (from sysinternals), better list navigation and you can use the Del key to kill a process.

Solution 2:

Alt-F4 or click the close button. If the app doesn't respond within a few seconds, Windows XP (and probably everything after that) will show a dialog where you can kill it.
