# import the operating system module
# allows user to run operating system commands from Python
import os
# Run the command "taskkill" to stop applications in Windows
os.system("taskkill /f /im notepad.exe")
os.system("taskkill /f /im winword.exe")
os.system("taskkill /f /im excel.exe")

# use the template below to add more applications
# os.system("taskkill /f /im [executable name].exe")
# shutdown the computer in 1 second
