More KillProcess e-learning videos

Hello!

I have posted a new set of videos, and a new web-page to make it easy to access the videos: http://orangelampsoftware.com/support_elearning.shtml

The videos are grouped as either Basic or Advanced (time will tell if this is a good way of grouping them). The new videos cover some of the more frequently asked questions for the application:

• Disabling an item in the Kill List

• Running KillProcess from the command prompt

• Command prompt termination on Windows Vista

• Scanning processes in KillProcess

The final version of KillProcess will in a better way than before integrate these videos to make the application more user friendly.

KillProcess e-learning videos

Today we have launched some new videos on the site in order to improve the usability of the application, as well as focusing some of the main differences betwee KillProcess an other task managment applications on the web.

We will soon put a whole new section on the web-page for this but until then you can access them from here:

• Cleaning up Windows Vista Processes
• Creating Kill Lists in KillProcess
• Elevating the KillProcess application on Windows Vista
• Killing process trees with KillProcess
• Multi-select features in KillProcess
• Resurrecting processes with KillProcess
• Explaining the Vicious Mode in KillProcess

Ok. That's it - hope you like them!

KillProcess 2.43 (?) Alpha

Today I have posted a new Alpha version of KillProcess. The version is labeled 2.43, but in the final release the version might end up being 2.50 instead because of the changes made internally in the application.

The most significant changes from 2.42 are the following:

• Now 100% Windows Vista compatible (launch normally as restricted process, launch in elevated mode). This means that KillProcess now once again will be started automatically when the computer starts (if desired)
• Quick and easy loading of Kill lists from the taskbar tray icon
• Quick and easy execution of Kill lists from the taskbar tray icon (very, very nice feature)
• Added possibility to kill the whole process tree
• Redid the layout of the process list somewhat, removing obsolete data and reordering columns

More stuff is in development, so consider the release today as a "teaser" for things to come.

If you think that this is sounds cool, please go to the following page for your download: http://orangelampsoftware.com/products_killprocess.php

Known limitations in KillProcess 2.42:

• There is a bug in the application where the wrong process description and path can be displayed when listing processes. The bug exists on all platforms but is more evident on Vista

New Kill List Upload page

There is now a brand new page for uploading Kill Lists to Orange Lamp Software Solutions. The page supports uploading files to our web-server for review, instead of the old (and never used) way of sending e-mails to the webmaster.

 Click here to go directly to the page

Any valid submitted kill lists will be reviewed, and the ones that are good will end up on the download page, kill list section.

This will be a great opportunity for all people around the world that is using KillProcess to share their process knowledge with others (and who knows someone might be able to improve your list)

Hope you like it, keep posting!

Regards
