well if you get the third one, two and three should be easy...

1) follow number 3

2) make a shortcut for 1


On windows or Linux?

How are you running linux, but have a .exe running and expect vb to work in linux?

Are you sure you are not running Windows?

This sounds a little fishy.. like a virus that'll copy itself into 'startup' and then he'll rename the process 'firefox.exe' -> 'somethingimportant.exe' and send it to people. I don't know.

Code:
taskkill


you can check the parameters in a command prompt. if you wanted to do it in vb.net, you could just process start taskkill, then parameters, and have it hidden, but a batch file is even easier.

Here's a bat file I threw together a while back when I was having problems with an add-on:
Code:
cd c:\Program Files\Shiretoko\
REM Changes the directory to firefox's root folder so as to resolve possible conflicts with other firefox installations
taskkill /f /im firefox.exe
REM Kills firefox if it fuck up
start firefox.exe /max /normal
REM Starts firefox again

I don't remember where firefox installs to by default as I've always modified my folder name (bat file in question was being used with ff3.1 alpha), so you'll need to change the first line to reflect that. You can also remove the REM lines if you want.

I know what ill be dloading when i get home lol
http://download.cnet.com/Bat-To-Exe-Converter/3000-2069_4-10555897.html

AND ON THE above post, you do know that you have to remove some stuff, right?

Code:

@echo off
taskkill -f im yourprocesshere.exe
pause

Just open notepad and type what you need in, but don't save it as a .txt file (or just rename it from [name].txt to [name].bat).
