oops, didn't read properly, sorry Simon. NET STOP will only work for
running as service.

If you are not doing it programmatically the way Claudio suggested
then you can always grab a free scripting tool like AUTOIT
http://www.hiddensoft.com/AutoIt/ or even do your own script in
windows scripting host (WSH) -- anything that can manipulate windows
via titles/handles. Actually I'm not sure if WSH can address windows
via their titles so maybe go straight to auto-it.
