I am very new to visual basic and am using VB 6. I want to
be able to create a vb program that can 1st kill
certain .exe's from the task manager, then search for
specific files and update the files to be the most current
type of file? I want this file to be able to run on Win9x,
WinME, Win2000, Win2003, and WinXP if possible.

The 2nd function I want it to be able to do is to lower
itself into the right side and display a little icon if
certain .exe's were found and terminated from the windows
task manager.

I want the kill function of the .exe's from the task
manager to be invisible to the user so it does not
interrupt with the user's ability to multi-task.

Anyone know where I can find source code similiar to this
or help me out in anyway would greatly be appreciated.

I hope I placed this in the right VB forum.

Thanks,
   Charles
