You could try ProKill, i've never tested it on ME, but hey, who knows, perhaps it'll work

Source is included btw...

sorry to say, I tried pk (It's the first thing I tried)

Only tried 'pk -l' to list processes, but no process shows up

didn't try 'pk -n process name' > should have done so. Don't have a ME running at home so I'll have to try it at my friends house. unless someone got 9x/me running and could test this

sysinternals pskill won't work on 9x/me either >

CODE

I might try using a vbs like this

CODE

strproc = "notepad.exe"
strComputer = "."
On Error Resume Next
Set objWMIService = GetObject( "winmgmts://" & strComputer & "/root/cimv2" )
Set colItems = objWMIService.ExecQuery( "Select * from Win32_Process", , 48 )

For Each objItem in colItems
If LCase( objItem.Caption ) = LCase( strproc ) Then
objItem.Terminate
End If
Next

WScript.Quit(0)

but can't test it right away

taskkill doesn't seem to be available on windows 2000, so I doubt it would work on ME.

but tnx anyway cause I hardly ever work on xp and didn't know about it at all...
