Are you actually launching these application in your application? Consider posting code showing what you have tried.

Yes. the applications are launched by the java application which now tries to close them.

You're probably creating a process that starts a second process and ends immediately. You can't close that second process because you don't have a reference to it. But do consider posting code showing what you have tried.

maybe this is because the code did not create the process directly, ao destory() method doesn't work as expected.

Process ps = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("rundll32 url.dll,FileProtocolHandler " + "my website open here")

maybe ps not reference to the process create by rundll32

then there is no way to close a browser directly from java application?
