KillNotes

More often than not, Lotus Notes tends to crash randomly whenever you are doing an important task, such as writing an email, for instance. Unfortunately, if this happens, then most users report that the information is completely lost and cannot be found in the drafts section or anything else for that matter. What is worse is that you are unable to launch the application again unless you reboot your computer and this is due to various Windows processes hanging in the background because of the crash.

KillNotes is a small program that allows you to clean up the Windows processes that hang around when your Lotus Notes client crashes so that you can start Lotus Notes again without restarting your PC. The application can be used to stop a frozen Lotus Notes program and it is suitable for R5, R6 & R7 clients.

Generally speaking, even though there are numerous reasons why Lotus Notes can crash, the idea is basically the same: the application is no longer working and it corrupted all other Windows processes it began to work properly. Consequentially, this can lead to errors when attempting to launch other applications that need the same processes to run. It eats up your resources, which can be a real issue if you have a relatively old computer.
