Kdyer Kdyer KiX Supporter Registered: 2001-01-03 Posts: 6241 Loc: Tigard, OR	Gaven, I believe there are a couple of UDFs that address this. Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) CORE 1.5 (Windows 95/98) WMINT4.EXE The WMI Downloads are also talked about - KiXtart FAQ & How to's ADSI/WMI/COM Info and links I made sure to add the link for WMI9X.EXE in there this morning.

I am not aware of any scriptable method to close a specific application in Windows 9x in an default installation. However, PV.EXE might be the faster solution as WMI/ADSI requires installation plus reboot plus registry hacks for remote access. _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.

Gaven Gaven Starting to like KiXtart Registered: 2003-06-19 Posts: 103 Loc: Washinton DC, USA	Being able to install WMI on the Windows 9x computers is the perfect solution. Next question: how can I have a script check to see if WMI is installed before attempting to use it? BTW: The end purpose is to have a function in a maintenance script that can close all programs/processes before running maintenance routines. Needless to say, WMI appears to be the easiesy way to do it.

Kdyer Kdyer KiX Supporter Registered: 2001-01-03 Posts: 6241 Loc: Tigard, OR	Chris has the right idea.. Look for the existance of - %WINDIR%+"\System\WBEM\WinMgmt.exe" WBEM - "Windows-Based Enterprise Management" is key for WMI. Cheers!

However, in the logn run, it would be better to deploy WMI/WBEM to all supporting clients. _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.
