The normal Windows task manager's 'end task' button just politely asks the app to close - but then later will tell the user if the app is unresponsive, and offer to brutally murder it instead.

There is also the sysinternals Process Monitor, which is basically 'expert' version of the task manager. Procmon does allow you to just kill a task outright.
