RE: (ukha_d) Closing Windows Media Player from Homeseer?

Cool.  There's no (published) support tools for XP, but a quick(ish)
search of
the help provided the 'taskkill' command, so the following format will
kill
wmplayer:

taskkill /f /im wmplayer.exe

Thanks for the pointer Doogie.

Hi Pete,

What you need first off is kill.exe which is in Win 98 and 2000
resource
kits, and is on the windows 2000 CD as well, or so
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q246926
says anyway!
.... not sure where on XP, possibly a similar place, trying searching
through
.cab files for kill.exe

Once you have it, its easy peasy....

kill -f wmplayer.exe

(-f for force, like -9 in *nix)

HTH
