yes, you canc reate a batch file if you want, you have to specify all of the programs you want to close in the batch file, it doesnt matter if you name programs that arent open at the time, it will just skip that one.
for example, inside the batchfile on one line there could be
That would kill any open instances of notepad
T create a batch file open notepad, type in your code lines and then click Save As, when it asks you make sure you select All Files... and then type in nameoffile.bat. You must name it a .bat file... After that, locate where you saved it to and run it
you can put any program that COULD BE OPEN at any time, like MSN, word, publisher, internet explorer, firefox, frontpage, games, calculator, outlook, thunderbird, mediaplayers of any sort.... Put everything in there, to cover all possibilities. Remeber it doesnt matter if you dont have one of those programs listed open at the time, it will simply skip it and state that it couldnt find a process named "notepad.exe" or whatever you dont have open....
