Post down the total code so its easier to troubleshoot.

[kiuhnmgrtdcv]

my program was under win32 console app
so 'HANDLE' was Undeclared for me
----------
now myApp is under mfc
this is the function

int CMyTaskManagerDlg::Killprocess(int nProcessID)
{
	
	HANDLE hProcess = OpenProcess(PROCESS_ALL_ACCESS, 0, nProcessID );

	BOOL nReturnVal = TerminateProcess( hProcess,0);
	CloseHandle (hProcess);
	return nReturnVal;

}

but how can i find the nProcessID for my notepad.exe to close it?

[kiuhnmgrtdcv]

There could be more than one copy of notepad.exe running you know.

See EnumProcesses, example here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms682623(VS.85).aspx
