: : : : I want to write a batch program for my windows xp computer, that does the following:
: : : :
: : : : 1) It activates itself whenever a specified program is run.
: : : :
: : : : 2) It closes a program if the program is running.
: : : :
: : : : Now if #1 is impossible, then it is not nessesary but I need to be able to do #2. for example, I want the program to close solitare if I am playing solitare.

: : : You can run a program with a timer and tell it to scan the running applications every 20 sec and then kill some if you detect them. Of course, the reaction will not be instant, but still...

: : That option does sound apealing, but I will not pretend to be a master of the batch arts... I never knew it was possible to scan running aplications, and do you use the "kill" command, to kill the programs? if you do would using "kill" delete the program, or just stop it from running?

: If you need a tool yo do that - try to search the Web, maybe there are some... If you want to write it yourself - you need to use Win32 API:
:
: EnumWindows() - scans running processes (or some of it)
: TerminateProcess () - kills running program

I thank thee! this has proved to be very usfull, If anything goes wrong i'll ask. Thanks again!
