ForumsThe title pretty much says it all. This .BAT file will kill all currently running apps on a system that the user started with the exception of a few locked Windows processes and some antivirus products. This comes in handy when you are working on a system that has too many processes running and thus slowing it down; often to the point where its difficult to do any work on it.
Being a BAT file, this script is obviously highly customizable. It works on a “if the process is not in this list, then kill it” system; so you can add processes to the list that you do not to be killed such as the menu for your USB drive applications or Firefox.
This works on XP and Vista. For information on how to add processes to it, check out the official page.

Special thanks to the forum member Methical for recommending this one.
Note this will only kill processes running that were started by the user, meaning it won’t kill anything from the system resulting in a BSOD.
Jimmy James, you are right. Updated the post.
Your welcome ! Here it is in .vbs format:

I was trying to run a .bat using KillProcess and relative paths (to run from the thumb drive)
So far this is what I got (you can copy this to notepad and save as .bat)
“\PortableApps\KillProcess\KillProcess.exe \PortableApps\KillProcess\CleanXP.lst silent”
Still haven´t managed to get to work the “reverse kill list” (kill everything except included process in the list). Maybe it´s just not supported from command line.
I’ve tried kill.bat on two computers and I get the same error message:
‘Tasklist’ is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
Press any key to continue.
Am I missing something?
