Closing files

[Guest]

Hello,

Recently I discovered that when I use terminal from w95 in WinXp and close
it, 2
files wowexec.exe and ntvdm.exe are still open. When I then try to open
another dos program called Dox10, the program states that it cannot connect
to comport 1. When I close these files in task manager, i can start the Dox10
program without any problems.

Is there a way for me to close wowexec.exe and ntvdm.exe with a command?
Would be very nice if I could ie. close it in a .bat file when I open the
Dox10 program.

See if you have the Kill command available.

In a batch file use
kill wowexec.exe
kill ntvdm.exe

If your DOX10 installation files are still intact, there is a line in the Autoexec.bat, sholud also be in the Autoexec.NT, which, if DOX10 is still running when the next startup of DOX10 is tried, should stop the Running file.
In short, run the Autoexec.bat file and see if that clears it.
Best of luck.
