In another thread i read something about the command taskkil when installing DAP 7. I found the programm, but where should i put this programm and how do i acivate it?

If you had even bothered reading the entire thread you would have known how to use taskkill and how to call it.

Its really frustrating when members cant do a proper search for previous posts/threads. And please dont even say that you did a search and nothing came up because I just did a 15 second search and am looking at the thread I had posted in a few days back.

hi,

taskkill.exe is part of Windows XP Professional

@ big poppa pump: nice to see that there are still some people who know to be polite. Furthermore i read this thread and didn't understand it. The lines i use, in runonceex all start with reg add %key% and so on. This doesn't look like the lines you posted in the thread. Therefor my question. Do i have to put the taskkil programm in the DAP dir and what commandline should i use that gives the right command, seeing my lines differ from yours.

Under WinXP Pro, two copies of taskkill.exe are found here:

- C:\WINDOWS\system32\

- C:\WINDOWS\system32\dllcache\

taskkill.exe is installed by default with WinXP Pro.

However, as I read in some posts, taskkill.exe isn't part of WinXP Home. So, if you have WinXP Home, you need to get taskkill.exe, then put it here:

$OEM$\$$\System32\taskkill.exe

This is an example taken from a post:

REG ADD %KEY%\0070 /VE /D "IsoBuster" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\0070 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\IsoBuster.exe /VERYSILENT /SP-" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\0070 /V 2 /D "taskkill /F /IM isobuster.exe" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\0110 /VE /D "Getright Download Manager" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\0110 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\Getright.exe /s" /f

As you can see, you don't have to refer to the directory in which taskkill.exe resides, which is System32. Nor you need to put the taskkill program in DAP directory.

/F means force (i.e. to force termination of a process without confirmation)

/IM means image (i.e. name of process or program to terminate).
