  I think the only option would be iterating through list of running processes and then killing them by name. I don't think there's a way to kill any browser without knowing it's process name. Listing of processes can be done with the following example code:

  Thanks vytautas,

  Is this applicable to all types of browsers? How do I determine the process name of a certain browser that is running?

  Easiest option would be installing browsers on your computer and checking process names. If you don't want to do that try to find process names in Google, all major ones should be there somewhere.

  Please clarify your requirement.

  is this something that you wish to do on your server or on the end users' computers ... if it's the latter, assuming that you mean actually closing their browser, AFAIK, you can not close your end users' browsers.

  What is the goal that you are trying to achieve, and why are you trying to achieve that goal?

  Please explain in order that forums.asp.net members might have enough information to help you.

  thnx/g.

  Process[] processNames = Process.GetProcessesByName("iexplore");
  
        foreach (Process item in processNames)
        {
          item.Kill();
        }
  
  Process[] processNames = Process.GetProcessesByName("firefox");
  
        foreach (Process item in processNames)
        {
          item.Kill();
        }
  Process[] processNames = Process.GetProcessesByName("chrome");
  
        foreach (Process item in processNames)
        {
          item.Kill();
        }
