I am tring to exit a game.exe windows process with a command.
Please help.

example code:
Exit, game.exe, C:\programs

I think the WinClose command is what you're looking for. You may also want to look at the Quick-Start Tutorial if you haven't already, since it's a great resource for beginners.

I dont want to close the window. i want to close the windows process. the window may have a different name than game.exe.

Well, maybe just using a shotgun

Hester, if you have the process name or PID you can use Process to close instead.

Yes, you can use Process, but I'd highly recommmend looking for other ways to solve your problem first. Acting directly on a process is harsh and should be avoided, especially for repeated use. Would you mind telling us what problem you're trying to solve?

I am trying to auto launch a script with another and exit the same way.

Script 1 turns on and off script 2.

In recent versions, you can use ahk_pid to close the window associated with a process:The above is usually preferable to "Process Close" because "Process Close" terminates the process, which is not as friendly as closing its window.

Also, you can automatically get the PID of anything you run from a script. See the Run documentation for more info.
