How do I close a program in DOS, lol

[kilogold]

Ok... you can laugh... :blush:

but plz help me... I'm trying to make a "playlist of mp3's just for learning purposes with DOS.

I got the idea on what I'm doing even though it's obvious you can't do a playlist with CMD, but just to get some practice...

I just want to know, if I open an mp3 file which opens my Windows Media Player, how do I close the Media Player through the batch file?

Use the 'tskill' command.

For example:

tskill wmplayer

It will immediately kill all instances of wmplayer.exe without confirmation. If you want to kill a specific instance, you need to determine its process ID.

oh, thank you!

btw... how do I find the process ID?
