lepricaun Posted October 8, 2004 Report Share Posted October 8, 2004 Hi all, i have written a program in C which prevents the user specified process from running.This might come in handy if you don't want your kids to play a game or use the net.It is called Exekiller.it runs in the background from an unvisible window and is easy to use.Usage: Exekiller.exe <processname>Example: Exekiller.exe iexplore.exe --> this will prevent Internet Explorer from running.if you wish to kill this program (to use the blocked process again) you can kill it by pressing <CTRL>+<SHIFT>+<BACKSPACE>.i've released it under the GPL and it can be found at my site. i hope it may be useful :DgreetsScorpius Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lepricaun Posted October 9, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2004 yes, no gui is needed.although it only works for processes that are actually listed in the taskmgr. meaning if you wish to block dir.exe, you should block cmd.exe since this is the parent process and listed in the taskmgr.
