Shutdown Windows Processes - Automated Program?

I was reading either a PC or gaming mag that had a suggested utility that would shut down windows processes and programs that you select when running a game, and would start them up again when that program quit. This is obviously useful for gaming since you want all the system resources you can muster, especially on a laptop.

It was freeware, and sounded pretty useful, but of course can't remember where I read it nor can I recall the name of the program.

Does this sound familiar to anyone or is there a program you can recommend?

Thanks...

 

You can check out my tweaks if you like..There is a tweak for that.

 

create 2 .bat files

The Stop file should follow this format

NET STOP "Process Name"

The Start File should follow this format

NET START "Process Name"

example if I want to stop Print Spooler

NET STOP "Print Spooler"

 

I was hoping for something a little more automated. I toyed with something a ways back, but can't recall. Real easy as it showed the running processes and programs and even a description if it had it in its database. You just clicked on the ones you wanted closed, and it created a shortcut, so that when you ran one of the programs that you added to it, it would shut down the processes you programmed it to.

 

Did you mean "NET START" ?

 

Yup, shouldn't be programming in OpenGL, MIPS and surfing at the same time. Thanks for that catch
