Depending on your experience in programming, you may be able to create a program that runs in your backgrnd and that will terminate a prog when it stops responding. To the very best of my knowledge, there is no reg hacks that can do what you are looking for.

There is a utility which comes with the NT 4 resource kit utilities called kill.exe. This util allows you to "kill" a process without bringing up the task manager.

It does not kill the process automatically when it stops responding, but you couldscript it to run on the selected application when you want to kill it.

Hope this helps.
