Need help writing a batch

[weltern]

this is what i need it to do, and in this order.' I've tried myself but i don't know the batch language that well yet, i hoping this will teach me a bit.

1. open an application

2. close explorer.exe

3. start up task manager

also if you would type down what code i would use to close another exe of my choosing that would be great.

thank you very much

Look up DOS commands, then type them in order separated by a carriage return.

The first should be C:\program files\ (((this is the path to the .exe of the program))))
The second should look like TASKKILL /F /IM (((the .exe name))) /T
Th third should look like taskmgr

Thank you very much, but one question, do i need all the (((())) around the exe? or was that just for emphasis?

Those are just for emphasis. When writing you do not need the brackets.

ok, thank you. but ive tried the batch file and it didnt work. the application cant be found, even though i give the batch the correct file path, and when taskmgr comes up explorer wont close until everything else closes.
