is there a batch file to kill running processes?

[capeskate]

I already know about the startup control panel...but is there anything that I can type in a notepad and turn into a .bat that will end processes for quicktime tasks...windows messenger....norton ghost background processes...etc..

If you want to kill the processes after they start up, put this into a batch file:

taskill /f /t /im "[the process name]"
taskill /f /t /im "[the process name]"

etc. etc.

If you want these to be removed from the startup consistently, make a VB script run at startup that deletes the unwanted programs from the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\.
