Copyright (c) 1999 Ziff-Davis, Inc.
First Published on the PC Magazine Extra Web site, August 1, 1999
PLATFORMS:
Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT 4.0
DESCRIPTION:
EndItAll lets you terminate all non-essential programs for the purpose
of installing new software, running finicky games, or writing to CD-Rs
that need a big buffer. The essential system programs Explorer and
Systray cannot be terminated. EndItAll's main window presents a list of
running processes. You can protect any process in the list from
termination.

EndItAll, Version 2.0
Copyright (c) 2001 Ziff Davis Media, Inc.
Written by Neil J. Rubenking
First Published in PC Magazine, US Edition, October 16 2001, v20n17
PLATFORMS:
Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows NT 4, Windows 2000
DESCRIPTION:
Install utilities usually tell you to shut down all other tasks while
they're operating. Other programs demand so much of your system's
computing power that any concurrently running tasks will impact their
performance. On today's powerful systems, you easily can have a dozen or
more programs loaded at any given time. Shutting them down manually is
tedious and time-consuming.
EndItAll 2 lists all the programs running on your system, and lets you
decide which ones to close down. The processes necessary for basic
system operation are protected from termination. From the remaining
processes, you can choose which to close, which to kill (close down
forcibly), and which to protect. Once you know which files you want to
shutdown, you can configure EndItAll for automatic action via script or
batch file. This is useful for backups and defrags during off-hours.
Options let you block power management and the screen saver during
operation. Version 2 is a major update to EndItAll.
