Kill Program

[iverson_est]

Can auto it kill a program or close a program. I am not taliknig about a window.

#NoTrayIcon

HotKeySet("^e", "Terminate")
While 1
If WinExists("NETI - Eesti Interneti Kataloog ja Otsingusüsteem - Mozilla Firefox") Then 
WinClose("NETI - Eesti Interneti Kataloog ja Otsingusüsteem - Mozilla Firefox")
MsgBox(16, "Halt!", "No internet for you!") 
EndIf 
If WinExists("NETI - Eesti Interneti Kataloog ja Otsingusüsteem - Microsoft Internet Explorer") Then 
WinClose("NETI - Eesti Interneti Kataloog ja Otsingusüsteem - Microsoft Internet Explorer")
MsgBox(16, "Halt!", "No internet for you!") 
EndIf 
 
WEnd
Func Terminate()
Exit
EndFunc

as u can see it closes when the homepages is reached, so basically, one could do so thats he opens a folder browses for favs and one could ignore the restrict. So, can i close a program, not only a window?

Check out ProcessClose() in the help file.

[iverson_est]

yes thanks. Thats what i was looking for.

#NoTrayIcon

HotKeySet("^e", "Terminate")
While 1
If ProcessExists("firefox.exe") Then 
ProcessClose("firefox.exe")
MsgBox(16, "Halt!", "No internet for you!") 
EndIf 
If ProcessExists("iexplore.exe") Then 
ProcessClose("iexplore.exe")

MsgBox(16, "Halt!", "No internet for you!") 
EndIf 
 
WEnd
Func Terminate()
Exit 
EndFunc

now my script is like this. But, i can't get the result i want. Basically, when u go to internet through favs no internet .exe will be executed, sadly. Anyone ideas how to cover this?

@MyPM: (Ahh... Now I understand my PM from someone )

@iverson_est: This might be a good opportunity to explain (in detail) step by step EXACTLY what you are trying to accomplish.

Maybe getting the pid from the window when it gets active?

Perhaps something like:

WinWaitActive("Google - Microsoft Internet Explorer", "")
$pid = WinGetProcess("Google - Microsoft Internet Explorer", "")
If $PID Then ProcessClose($PID)
MsgBox(16, "Halt!", "No internet for you!")

Sounds like you want to watch for certain window title then process close

#NoTrayIcon

HotKeySet("^e", "Terminate")
While 1
    If WinExists("NETI - Eesti Interneti Kataloog ja Otsingusüsteem - Mozilla Firefox") Then 
        ProcessClose("firefox.exe")
        MsgBox(16, "Halt!", "No internet for you!") 
    EndIf 
    If WinExists("NETI - Eesti Interneti Kataloog ja Otsingusüsteem - Microsoft Internet Explorer") Then 
        ProcessClose("iexplore.exe")
        MsgBox(16, "Halt!", "No internet for you!") 
    EndIf 
    
WEnd
Func Terminate()
    Exit 
EndFunc

Edit: A Sleep in the loop might be a good idea also

actually i want to prevent my sister to acess internet from MY computer

Well my prob is that she could acess internet from any folder from favourites, pick 1 adress and ur in...

edit:

to where should place the sleep, i've tried it but where ever i put it, my hotkey wouldn't work

Could always take the cable from the modem or the phone coord with you when you leave the computer

[forger]

I think Favorites (or Internet Shortcuts) open with this command: "rundll32.exe shdocvw.dll,OpenURL %l"

(look @ file types)

You could change it in the file types from a menu Tools -> Folder Options

Hence I doubt killing firefox.exe or iexplore.exe by process name would work

Edit: or even disable Favourites from the start menu, if you're using xp:

[iverson_est]

yeah but she is smart enough to plug it in

[forger]

This is a windows registry file (.reg)

(for xp pro, I'm almost 90% sure it could work on windows 2000 and the home versions of windows xp :\)

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Safer\CodeIdentifiers\0\Paths]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Safer\CodeIdentifiers\0\Paths\{18d8cfb8-cfce-4a97-ad63-00dc9a1fda0c}]
"LastModified"=hex(b):ec,94,f9,ea,9a,55,c6,01
"Description"=""
"SaferFlags"=dword:00000000
"ItemData"="iexplore.exe"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Safer\CodeIdentifiers\0\Paths\{5a6d7f2e-c931-42a6-ba1c-297d27a56c72}]
"LastModified"=hex(b):36,43,7b,67,9a,55,c6,01
"Description"=""
"SaferFlags"=dword:00000000
"ItemData"="firefox.exe"

Now, if someone can translate this into AutoIT code..

after that you run: gpupdate /force

and that's it

[dabus]

Er, although it may be a little too late to ask for, but why don't you use a password to protect your account(s)?

[iverson_est]

i dont want to protect account, mainly just doing it to learn autoit better

[dnsi]

Why dont you just put a password on your computer.

I can disable autoit even it you use #NoTrayIcon function.

So it wont work.

i think ur sister is smart enough to do that.

[dandymcgee]

Well you could use Valuater's Computer Lock program. You can view the source and change the pass to whatever you like. Very useful, and almost impossible to get through. OR, just set password to screensaver (if you on XP). HEHE
