Close/unload WB 6 from command line

I want to create a macro that completely unload/kill WB6 and then another that starts it again. How can i make that? it's possible? i've tried using "wbload UNLOAD" but screen.exe process remains in memory...

thanks in advance,

wbload unload should unload WindowBlinds.

There isn't a method supported by WindowBlinds to end the screen.exe process, but you can terminate this with the command taskkill /IM screen.exe

To unload WB you can run wbload UNLOAD from a command prompt.

To reload WB you can run wbload from a command prompt.

You can also use taskkill /IM screen.exe but who knows what that might do

Why do you need to unload WB though?

The screen process should not remain running anyway.

If it is then you have a different problem.

I have the same problem with screen.exe. What's that for anyway?

I believe that's the blurred 'please wait' that covers your screen when applying a skin

Weirdest thing . . . I'm seeing the blur/Please wait on every windows boot since the last update. Freaky, no?

Well, i need to unload WB as part of a big macro that i'm developing to use my HTPC in another room. The idea is the following: i close all unnecessary processes from memory (WB, sidebar, antivirus, etc) and then i switch to another screen and launch my HTPC software, then when i close the HTPC software, and restore all services, programs and processes as before launching it...

regards,
