Command to close/run DesktopX and ObjectDock?

I'm getting frustrated at the fact that my DesktopX icons (using IconX tech) keep on getting reset and that my ObjectDock looses focuse each time I pop out of a game (ex: BF1942, SimCity 4...). I have to close each app b4 launching a game, and relaunch them when coming out... I am looking to create small run.bat and close.bat files to run/close these apps. Anyone know how to do this?

Thanks in advance.

If you have the NT resource kit, you could use kill.exe. There is probably some freeware out there that does the same thing. I don't know if getting 'killed' would have any adverse affects on either program.

run.bat should be pretty simple.

"C:\Program Files\Object Desktop\DesktopX\desktopx.exe"
"C:\Program Files\ObjectDock\ObjectDock.exe"

Yeah, I had figured that part... Anyone know how to kill an app through a dos command in XP? There's got to be a way

If you run XP Pro, good things come to those who look.

taskkill /?

XP Home? It's probably not included.
