Taskkill Explorer.exe

Post » Thu Dec 23, 2010 8:42 pm

Well it's been awhile since I posted here so I'll get right to it.
First off I have Dolphin to play some Gamecube games on my laptop.It works well and this POS surprises me how well it plays most of the games I have,Oblivion being one of them.Yes before you tell me laptops svck,get a new graphics card,etc....I am well aware of it,right now I am unable to so I gotta make do with what I got.Dealing with the Dolphin I came across this little tidbit of text which I had to rename to .bat:

@ECHO off
TASKKILL /IM EXPLORER.EXE /F
color 0c
ECHO Dolphin Launcher V3, Created By MarioMadness. %2
pause
color 0a
ECHO NEVER CLOSE THE BAT FILE! %3
ECHO It Will Automatically Exit After Closing Dolphin %4
ECHO (Explorer.exe Will Automatically Load After closing Dolphin.) %5
start /high /wait Dolphin.exe
start explorer.exe

It worked well.Everytime I used it it ended explorer when I used Dolphin and turned it back on when I was done.I'm not computer savvy and so I turn to you guys here on the forums.
Now I've been looking into getting rid of as much background services,tasks,anything that svcks away at my resources.Since Explorer.exe eats up a chunk how could I reword this to the obseloader.exe,just change the names and turn it into a .bat?Or should it be rewritten entirely?And if so how?
Thanks

I don't.I just found it so I haven't used it for anything else yet.I don't know how to "code" or program so I was hoping someone might be able to help me out there.The Dolphin is a Gamecube Emulator so the taskill works when I turn on the Dolphin.The 2 games I have for the Dolphin still suffer some lag and slowdown but the Dolphin builds are sometimes unreliable.I was wondering how exactly to do it so I could use it for Oblivion and Modern Warfare 2(although that's a Steam set-up so I don't know if I could use it there).I also have Warcraft III which plays fine on this computer and Resident Evil 4 (which is a horrible port of a good game....no mouse support!!!)plays fine but just svcks on the PC.
Is it as simple as renaming the Dolphin.exe to obseloader.exe? Or should it be changed completely?
I think shutting down Explorer.exe during games would be fantastic.I don't use the damn thing when I'm playing and never use windowed mode at all.

A simple clean boot will work better.
