Open notepad, click "Save As", change the "Save as type" to "All file" and save it as "kill processes.bat" or appropriate name. Doesnt matter where you save it as long as you can find it when you want to exit programs, you can also create a shortcut to it of course.

Next start putting the command lines in there to kill the programs.

Here's an example from my batch file:

"c:\killproc\Process.exe" -q wordpad.exe

"c:\killproc\Process.exe" -k Weather.exe

"c:\killproc\Process.exe" -k avgcc.exe

The part within " " is where the Command Line Process Utility program is at. "-q" will exit the program similar to clicking the X for exit, so for WordPad it would first prompt me if I really wanted to exit if it was a unsaved file. This is sometimes useful but Weatherbug refused to close in this manner so I used the "-k" command which is similar to end process in task manager.

Save the .bat file again with the command lines in place.

Now all you have to do is double-click on the .bat file you created and watch all the programs close.

Life Saver Jonathan Roraff (198.37.16.xxx) 2007-12-11 01:26:51 This allowed me to shut down three programs that would keep each other open that were eating up all my ram. This allowed me to get them down and delete them. I really appreciate it. Reply | Quote 0   0
