is it possible to create a batch file that end tasks a number of processes?]

when I got to play some games I end task things like explorer.exe and reboot since it grows in memory use after a while on and some other stuff I use doing things I end task.

So is it possible to have a single run batch to do this?

taskkill /?

yes.

taskkill dont always work. If not get pstools from here (http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/Utilities/PsTools.mspx), extract to c:\pstools and then in the bat file put:

c:\pstools\pskill.exe taskname.exe

e.g. to kill notepad and start AOE3 do:

c:\pstools\pskill.exe notepad.exe
cd\progra~1\micros~2\ageofe~1\
start age3.exe

or whatever.

edit: You could also do -

c:\pstools\pskill.exe notepad.exe
cd\progra~1\micros~2\ageofe~1\
start /wait age3.exe
start c:\windows\notepad.exe

to reopen the closed app(s) once you leave the game.
