Stopping a Command or Program
You may sometimes need to stop a command or program while
it is running. Many application programs provide a command
you can use to stop or even cancel (undo) an operation. If you
have entered an MS-DOS command that you want to stop, try
one of the following commands:
Hold down the Ctrl key and press C

These methods may also work in your application program.
If you cannot stop a particular operation, however, you may
need to reset the computer, as described in the following
