hi you can create a batch file than you can change or add tasks as of when you pleasea


if you create a notepad and write


@echo off

taskkill /IM notepad.exe
cls


save the notepad as anythng you want but make sure you add .bat to the end...... e.g taskkiller.bat or tasks.bat

this would end the process notepad you can add more just add "taskkill /IM "PROCESS NAME HERE"

or you wanted to make it a silent so no box comes up you can download a program called "BAT TO EXE" its really easy to use , if u do use it make sure the invisible option is ticked and no boxc will appear

hope this is a really easy fix for you

You can also write an Autohotkey script to kill a process at a specified hour and minute:

Code:

[B]LP:
If A_HOUR=[/B]number 0-24[B]
{
If A_MIN=[/B]number 0-59[B]
Process, Kill, [/B]process.exe[B]
}
Sleep 500
goto, LP[/B]

Click to expand...

Oh, it's simple, install Link Removed - Invalid URL

No need to reboot. Right click an empty spot in a folder >> New >> Autohotkey Script >> Edit this new script file >> Save >> Double click to run.
Or save notepad as name.ahk.

You can also compile it to .exe. Possible to call windows API as DLLCALL ().
