Could someone running windows XP home please send me a copy of "taskkill.exe"
I need it to run a batch file for killing Y'z dock while playing a game and reloading it afterwards.
I think it should usually be found in:
C:\Windows\System32\
My address is ludge101 at yahoo dot co dot uk
Thanks in advance.

Try having the dock dissapear, It will will pop up sometimes in the game, but it'll go away when you move mouse away from top of screen
I've uploaded the file to my web site. It can be found here for anyone who needs it: http://www.btallack.com/taskkill.exe
Thanks for the help guys!
Double post!
For some reason the command prompt won't let me change between drives.
By this I mean typing "cd C:\" takes me to the C drive but typing "cd D:\" just does nothing.
This means that my batch files can't link to files on other drives. :rant:
Anyone know how to fix this?
Ludge, to change drives, what you need to type is the drive letter and :
So, you'd type "d:" and hit enter to change to the d drive.
aah, got it! thanks! It's been a long time since I've used text commands! :shy:
How do you get Yz Dock to close while playing games, and then open when you exit the game? Can someone please explain. Thanks.
:who's your daddy: :surfer_dude:
Use a batch file with something like this--
taskkill.exe /F /IM YzDock.exe
start /wait pathtogame\game.exe
start path todock\YzDock.exe
exit
applelovers method only works if your dock and games are in the same drive. If they aren't, the batch file gets a bit longer (thats why I got stuck). The code for one of my batch files is as below. You'll need to edit the paths and file names in it. Also, the text in italics must be the filename of the batch file.
Thats it! set the dock to link to the .bat and you're done! 
If you need more help then let me know.
