Closing a *.EXE file within a Delphi project (revisited)

I have opened a seperate program from within a Delphi application using the

    ShellOpenFile(Self.Handle, 'Application.exe','','C:\Program
Files\AppFolder\');

command. In order to close the EXE file, I use the following command:

     PostMessage(FindWindow(nil, 'C:\Program
Files\AppFolder\Application.exe'), WM_QUIT, 0, 0);

This, however closes the Delphi App and leaves the Application.EXE file open
and active. Is there another way of handling (no pun intended) this
problem?
