[PLUG] Fwd: that's nice

[Ron Mansolino via plug <plug@lists.phillylinux.org>]

windows also has a service called dcomlaunch that rifles through every file looking for executables to (??) that

kills my machine. I brewed this batch file up to re-weigh the maintenance processes, but I can't kill it completely:

wmic process where name="svchost.exe" CALL setpriority "idle"
wmic process where name="spoolsv.exe" CALL setpriority "below normal"
wmic process where name="dwm.exe" CALL setpriority "below normal"
wmic process where name="services.exe" CALL setpriority "below normal"
wmic process where name="smss.exe" CALL setpriority "below normal"
wmic process where name="sppsvc.exe" CALL setpriority "below normal"
wmic process where name="taskhost.exe" CALL setpriority "below normal"

wmic process where name="nvwmi64.exe" CALL setpriority "idle"

some of these are specific to my machine, feel free to substitute your afflicted processes

of course if you're not admin, you can't do much/enough to get more control of the console.
