I've been having a problem with my video card recently; every once in a while when opening a game the screen goes black but everything else continues as normal. If I push WIN+S (my hotkey for shutdown) and then R, the computer will restart [and the screen returns to normal as soon as the game has closed, but by then we're already on the way to a restart].

I'm not asking for help with that particular problem, I know what's wrong. What I want to know is this: is there some module or method I could use as an 'Emergency Kill' bang or hotkey? Basically I want a shortcut or keystroke to immediately close ALL programs except Litestep. Or if I could even set it up to close a specific program (configured in advance), that would be cool too. Any suggestions?
