A program to close pre-selected applications?

[John Latter]

I've just installed Kana Launcher which enables me to start Outlook
Express/Yahoopops/Hotpop/Spamihilator all at once. Now I need
something that will stop these programs when I'm done - has anyone any
ideas please?

*IF* my guess is correct that you want these apps to start when you
connect (even though you're probably manually causing that to happen,
through Kana), then you might want to consider NetLaunch (not
NetLauncher). You can configure it to start any programs you wish, when
it sees that a connection has been established, and will - the second
part you may seek - close them when the connection is closed. (You can
include or exclude, on a program by program basis, either action; i.e.,
you could, if you wish, have it start ProgramWhatever, but *not* close
it upon close of connection. It's highly configurable.)

Or maybe you're on broadband, and this is not what you're trying to
accomplish.

Thankyou Blinky and Stephen - I've just got in from celebrating the
fact that its Saturday and I will follow up your suggestions in the
morning (deletes 'hic')
