Can anyone write a simple program that launches

"C:\Program Files (x86)\MediaMonkey\Mediamonkey.exe"

and an alternate version that kills

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Imonkey\imonkey.exe"

and then proceeds to relaunch it again?

Or it would be even simpler to point me in the way of something already existing.

Thanks in advance! :)

EDIT: Sorry forgot to mention I'm running Windows Vista Home Premium 64-Bit if it matters. Once again thanks to anyone who helps.

yup there is ........ type this correctly or copy

open a notepad....

@echo off
start C:\Program Files (x86)\MediaMonkey\Mediamonkey.exe
taskkill /f imonkey.exe
REM below I placed the imonkey since you want to launch it again.
start C:\Program Files (x86)\Imonkey\imonkey.exe
exit

save it and make it as launcher.bat
put it in the startup....(if you like)
start>all programs>startup
there it can launch automatically in startup or boot
