Closing...

[Learning]

 :-? how do you close a specific active program using dos? tskill will close all of the instances - but i only want to kill one -  ie. two notepad text files are open but i want to close only the first....

-- i want to implement this in a C++ prog by using the system command, might make things easier...

It's easier in C++ by using FindWindow to get the window handle and then posting a WM_QUIT message to the window.

However using CMD you might want to run: TSKILL processid
by replacing the processid ID with the process id of the process you want to terminate.

Hope this helps.

--- well then that project idea is toast...

well then for a secruity program like the one microsoft gives an example for in their scheduled tasks, how do you prevent it from simply being closed...
