Check and close a program

[Mark Stuart]

Hi Tareq,

Read the Windows Registry, using the following Key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\CurrentVersion

Valid values = (5, 5.1, 6)

Where: 5 = Win2000, 5.1 = WinXP, 6 = Vista

 

If it = 5.1 OR 6 (Vista), then use: "taskkill /IM ExecutableName.exe"

This will kill/stop ALL sessions of the same exe name.

 

For more info:

Open a DOS box and type in: taskkill /?

You will see all the / options.

 

Sorry, I don't the executable name for Win2000, which is different.



HTH,

Mark Stuart

scripting a btn? The executable may be rev app or
others. Thanks in advance...
