+--- Thread: Shortcut to disconnect from the net? (/thread-579.html)
- Denis - 01-13-2003
Hello
I made shortcuts for my firewall, anti-virus program, Webwasher and my dial-up connection, and grouped them.
I then enabled "Run All" so I can launch them all when I connect to the net (and don't have to have any of them starting with Windows).
I have now made a group identical to this one, the difference being that when I "Run All" it ends/stops all the programs.
The only thing I'm not able to do is create a shortcut to stop my connection. :/
Is there a way to do it?
Thanks in advance,

I talked too soon.
The only program I can actually stop is Sygate Personal Firewall Pro by using
"D:\Program Files\Sygate\Smc.exe" -stop
as a shortcut. ???
Any idea how I can stop Norton Anti-Virus and WebWasher too (as well as disconnect from the net)?

Which OS are you using?
- Denis - 01-13-2003
Windows 2000 Pro on my lappy, XP Home on my desktop.

WAAHOOOO!!!
I've found a command line tool (whatever that is) that can "Kill" any process!!
Well, it was able to kill Norton Anti-Virus and WebWasher anyway.
You can read about it and download it from here: KillP
For those of you interested this is how to set it up (I'll use Webwasher as an example):
- make a copy of killp.exe in the folder where the program you want to end is installed; in this example, "C:\Program Files\Webwasher".
- create a shortcut to the copy of killp.exe you just made. i.e, "C:\Program Files\Webwasher\killp.exe"
- right-click on the shortcut, choose "properties".
- at the end of the target path (after the quotation mark), add a space then the name of the program you want to end.
"C:\Program Files\Webwasher\killp.exe" wwasher.exe
(you can also change the icon if you want)
Done!
Now I only have to find a way to hang-up my dial-up connection.

rasdial /DISCONNECT
You will find rasdial.exe inside your SYSTEM32 folder.

Thanks Yuri, you're the master.
Shall I start calling you Yodi?

This brings me to make a new feature request: adding "Enable Run All" to folders options.
