-0800 typed in alt.windows7.general the following:

Oh, by the way, the " *32" is *NOT part of the process name* so you
entered the wrong process name to the taskkill command.

Okay, I had some confusion. Being told to enter the process as in
Taskmanager - it seemed that was what it was.
Now I know. All I need no is for mailwasher to break again.

[snpp]

Yippie - mailwasher froze up this morning.

ran the batchfile - as admin - twice.

The first time it reported success. But the splash screen was
still there.

the second time I got an error message:

ERROR: The process with PID 2856 (Child Process of PID 3828) could not
be terminated.
Reason: there is no running instance of the task.

Except that Taskmanager still lists it.

And if I right click in a winder to create a new text file -
nothing. I can open an existing text file in notepad, and can wader
through the tree and start notepad, but not "create a new text
document."

"Abort, Retry, Fail?"
Yes!
