how 2 taskkill this application

[Astalavista]

Can someone tell me what is the exe file that launches this window.

I want to taskkill it, but i don't know the application or exe that launches it.

thanks you

its rundll32.exe

One way to confirm that is to open TaskManager and under the Applications tab, find the app loaded, right click on it and select GoToProcess, it will then switch to the Processes tab and highlight it.

Bear in mind though that rundll32.exe is used to run alot of stuff, so you will need to know the switches it calls.

Hope it helps

thats a good point, if you have lots of stuff open then you might close the wrong thing

BTW thanks for the tip, i didnt know that. im sure it will prove to be quite handy at work

You could use the task-manager>Processes to see a list of what was running before and after the dialog box popped up. And that way, you identify what is causing it.

If you want to do the same from the command-line, "pslist" - a freeware tool from SysInternals can do it.

Hoping this helps...

Because RUNDLL32.EXE can be used somewhere else, you should use CMDOW.EXE to close this window only without touching the other RUNDLL32.EXE process.

CMDOW.EXE

CMDOW.EXE "Network Setup Wizard" /CLS
