    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
