Option 1: Kill Windows – Medium

Only need Process Utility (process.exe) as per change item 6. Instructions copied into .bat file has ‘[YOUR SOUNDCARD PROCESS]’ – put your soundcard’s process here (e.g. kX = kxmixer.exe and RME = hdsp32.exe). Also remove ‘rem ’ prefix. Next instruction kills RME’s mixer process (if ‘rem ’ prefix removed).

1. Edit .bat file and clear all contents

2. Copy following instructions into .bat file

@echo off
rem # Kill Windows UI
start /wait c:\process.exe -k explorer.exe

rem # Start Task Manager
start C:\WINDOWS\system32\taskmgr.exe

rem # Kill Windows & VTTimer.exe (for Biostar mobo using VIA chipset)
start /wait c:\process.exe -k VTTimer.exe
start /wait c:\process.exe -k smss.exe
start /wait c:\process.exe -k winlogon.exe

rem # Adjust priorities, eg. High, RealTime, BelowNormal, Low
start /wait c:\process.exe -p taskmgr.exe Normal
rem start /wait c:\process.exe -p [YOUR SOUNDCARD PROCESS] AboveNormal
rem start /wait c:\process.exe -k hdspmix.exe

rem # Start Foobar
start /wait /REALTIME c:\progra~1\foobar2000\foobar2000.exe

rem # Start UI after Foobar
start /wait /B c:\windows\explorer.exe


3. Test by double-clicking .bat file
