2 part question: Other name of SYSTRAY, & need BAT or SCRIPT
Hello,
I have a video game that will only run if I shut down all the SYSTRAY and EXPLORER.EXE processes, so I've been told by Tech Support. The first question is this: If you look at the running processes, what is the actual IMAGE NAME of SYSTRAY? I don't see anything in there that says SYSTRAY. As I said earlier, the only way to make the game run is to delete all of the process except the aforementioned two. As you can imagine, it is very tedious to sit there and delete all of the undesired processes one-by-one. So my second question is this: Is there a way to write a BAT file so that I can get only the above mentioned processes to load? If you have a better idea on how to approach this (instead of using a BAT file), like a script (or whatever), I'm all ears. I have ADMIN rights to this PC, also, FWIW. Using XP Pro, SP2 on a 2006 Dell XPS600, with 256mb nVidia video card, with 1gb RAM. TIA.

As far as I know, the system tray is done by Explorer. -- Stan Brown, Oak Road Systems, Tompkins County, New York, USA http://OakRoadSystems.com A: Maybe because some people are too annoyed by top posting. Q: Why do I not get an answer to my question(s)? A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text. Q: Why is top posting such a bad thing?
