China DOS Union

Because there are often some files that cannot be deleted, but closing the explorer process and then opening it again can delete them. So I want to write a bat command that directly closes explorer and then opens it again. The way I wrote is:
ntsd -c q -pn explorer.exe
c:\windows\explorer.exe
exit
But I found that what is opened is the Windows Explorer. When I use the task manager to open explorer, the Windows Explorer is not popped up. Also, the exit seems not to exit the cmd. How to solve these two problems, thank you;)

explorer.exe is the resource manager, and it's the default shell specified by Windows. Additionally, maybe your explorer.exe has been compromised. Scan for viruses or suspicious programs.

It's not that it's been hacked, but that your explorer wasn't completely closed. There might be multiple explorer processes present.

Oh, I made a mistake, heh heh. I always think about anti-virus, and it's made me scared. It's being used by explorer.exe right now, heh heh

taskkill /f /im explorer.exe && start C:\WINDOWS\explorer.exe

Because C:\WINDOWS is the default search path for CMD, so you can directly use start explorer (if there are no other programs with the same filename but different extensions in the %path% path, you can even omit the .exe)

Actually, just one line is needed: taskkill /fi "IMAGENAME eq Explorer.exe"
If the permissions are sufficient, if the TASKKILL command is not used from the command line, or if the explorer process is ended using the WMIC process subcommand, the explorer process will automatically start. The interval in between is approximately 3 seconds (on my computer it is like this). So it is not difficult to understand why the building owner's startup of explorer will start the File Explorer.

Thanks for the advice, that's right

Yes, because it will load automatically, so this line should be removed: c:\windows\explorer.exe. Also, be careful with viruses when start is used without path and extension.

::Two methods to close the program ------------- End task, terminate process:
::End task:
taskkill /fi "imagename eq notepad.exe"
::Terminate the process using WMI method:
wmic process where name="notepad.exe" call terminate

It's very strange that the batch processing failed to close explorer but popped up the shutdown interface?

C:\>taskkill /im explorer.exe
SUCCESS: The process "explorer.exe" with PID 7864 has been terminated.

Is there a virus?

Maybe it's toxic. The shutdown interface shouldn't pop up. You check again if it's a setting issue.

It's a pity that taskkill wasn't available in Windows 2000 yet!
