auto-close processes

[Mr. Cipher]

I was wondering if there is a way that I can write a little program (e.g. a program shortcut or ms-batch file) that will close a specific service?

I am running two instances of F@H Core, and would like to know if there is a way I can make it so at the click of a button, I close the two processes so I am good to go when I want to game.

Likewise, I would like to automate their re-execution at the click of a button.

Any ideas?

Or does the fact that they are on low priority mean that if I want to game, my OS knows to give CPU priority to the game versus my F@H programs? (If this is the case I would still like to learn about auto-closing processes)

I'm pretty sure F@H stops folding when you start doing something with your computer like playing games.

No I have gotten performance hits with folding and gaming but it was only small, but for games like Crysis a small decrease in performance can mean the difference between enjoyable and horrible.

Why not just run them manually? I remember reading about an app that can hide any opened windows into a taskbar icon, which came in handy when using the console but don't have it setup as a service, but I can't remember wait was called.
