Brute force method:

- Download the Cygwin command line tools for windows
- use "ps -W" to determine the process id for the dabbar process.
(You could pipe the output from ps through "grep" and
"sed"/"cut" if 
you want to determine this automagically.)
- use "kill -9 <process id>" to terminate dabbar.

Not very elegant, but better than nothing I spose.
