Exit a program
« on: February 25, 2007, 03:06:52 AM »
Is there a way to end a program when its running on Windows XP using batch coz every time i boot the computer, Windows Movie Maker keeps coming up and i cant find a reason for it.
So basically i need something that exits a program and i'll put it in the scheduled task thing.

Thanks for any help

Where have you looked? The Windows startup folder is one possibility; MSCONFIG (the startup tab) is another. Is there some sort of option within MovieMaker that triggers the startup at boot?

I dislike suggesting that you modify the registry so check the easy ones first.

Hmmm....I'll have a look. Maybe run a registry scan or virus scan if i cant find anything.
