    is there any way to have a program open when another program opens? and vice versa when it closes.

    the situation is i want my ipblocker (protowall) to open when i open utorrent. and i want protowall to close when i close utorrent.

    any help would be appricated.

    and on a completly unrelated note does anyone have the zip file from this website​
    rapidshare says "this file has been deleted"​

    thanks

    Would launching and killing both at the same time suffice?

    I ask because:

    1. It is easier to implement
    2. It is less resource-intensive than constantly monitoring for a process

    Let us know!

    Do you know the paths to the executables needed?

    You could simply type the full path of both into notepad, save as filename.bat, and that would launch the two.

    When they're running, you will also need to know the process name they put in taskmanager.

    Then, you could put this into notepad:

    Code:
    taskkill /f /im [I]processname1[/I] && taskkill /f /im [I]processname2[/I]
    Which would CLOSE both.
