Closing Services & Processes prior to gaming (WXP-Pro)

[AmateurSysTech]

I have used the NET STOP commands to create a batch file to stop all unrequired services prior to starting a game.

I now want to be able to stop processes from within the batch file.

Can someone tell me or point me to a place where I can do this, I have tried a program called "CloseApp" but it cannot close some of the app's

I am a Windows XP user that knows more about Windows PC's than many around me, and as so I am often called upon to help them with their problems as the professional support in my area is untrustworthy. It also never hurts to learn more tho'

You could use the following code, repeat for each service (except the first 2 lines), and save the file as a .vbs:

dim SrvName

On error resume next

SrvName = "<font color=blue>Service Name</font color=blue>"

For Each strService In GetObject("winmgmts:").InstancesOf("win32_service")

If strService.Name = SrvName Then
strService.StartService

End If
Next
