Do you have to change the Environment Variables in Windows all of the time and want something better than this puny dialog to do it ?

Even with the fancy new Windows 7 Operating System, little has changed (since Windows NT 3.x) for editing your Environment Variables:

This is where the new QuickEnv application comes in handy. It allows to see much more rows than the one that comes with the OS, allowing for a much better overview:

Since there are many variables, that are never changed, it is possible to customize which one’s you would like to see:

KillProcess 2.43 has now been fully tested on the new Windows 7 Beta. A brand new kill list entitled "Clean Windows 7" and can be downloaded from here

The new Task bar in Windows 7 will make it unnecessary to minimize the application to the notification area (which is default in version 2.43).

The behavior of the application will also be pretty strange if the user selects to close the application from the task bar (using the red x as seen below) directly if the "Minimize on Close" option is selected (which is also a default setting in 2.43).

The result will be that the application will minimize to the taskbar, and if the application already was minimized at this point absolutely nothing will happen. This is a particularly odd behavior of any app and I can be wise to have a different set of default settings for Windows 7 in the next release of KillProcess.

To change this behavior simply un-check the "Minimize of Close" setting as seen below:

Hello.

A quick update of the progress with KillProcess 2.43:

Fixed bugs:

• Wrong process information displayed in the processlist after a couple of hours of usage. This problem was caused by a revocation of the Debug privileges by the Windows operating system and a bug where the processdata was not discarded as intended. This has now been fixed and should be working in Alpha 3.
  This has indeed been a tricky bug, as it was not possible to reproduce with a Debug built version of KillProcess.
• Double-clicking on a process brings up the process information correctly.

Alpha 3 is available on the download page now!

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.
