3rd party program in a batch file

When I am finished with internetting I want to close ALL programs associated with internetting. I can do that by batch file using ENDPROCESS for all except the firewall. Since Sygate does not have an entry in WinMe's Task Manager,
I can not close it with ENDPROCESS.
Procrecon CAN close Sygate when
1. Procrecon is opened
2. smc.exe is selected from a list that Procrecon displays
and 3. the 'Terminate process' button is clicked.
I want to do all that by means of a batch file

To do its work by COMMAND-LINE, Procrecon provides these three options
ProcRecon /h < process_Window_Handle >
ProcRecon /f < file_name_of_process_to_be_terminated >
ProcRecon /t < window_caption_of_process >

I do not know how to implement them in a batchfile, can someone tell me please ?

Then I MAY need a line that 'clicks the TERMINATE PROCESS button'.

 

You are going to have a tough time doing this if Sygate starts up automatically with windows for it has two startup entries. The first entry starts it as a Service, then the second entry brings up the GUI of Sygate. WinME tends to closely guard any executable started up as a Service from being terminated, this is the reason it doesn't show up in the WinME Task Manager.
It really isn't a good idea to have WinME exposed to the internet without a firewall, as it shares the same unfixed vulnerabilties at the core of the operating system as Win98 possesses.

 

I do. I have rigged up an ethernet switch.

 

My Sygate does not start up with Windows. I trigger its launching along with any other needed internetting software, before I go on-line. I have not seen 'services' in WinMe, like I have in WinXP.
In any case Procrecon DOES close sygate (remove its icon from the systray),
when Procrecon is run 'normally'. I just need to know how to get Prorecon to work from a batch-file.

 

The batch file that succeeds is as follows :

cd "C:\Program Files\Procrecon "
ProcRecon /t "Sygate Personal Firewall "

 

Nope, but they are there.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices
"SmcService "= "C:\\PROGRAM FILES\\SYGATE\\SPF\\SMC.EXE "
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
"SmcService "= "C:\\PROGRA~1\\SYGATE\\SPF\\SMC.EXE -startgui "
These are the two main startup Keys in 95/98/ME. Please note the word Services in the first Key.
Well, anyway, you got what you are looking for.

 

Thank for setting me right about WinMe's Services - especially your detailed way. Who knows when that may come in handy ?
