Thanks it would be much appreciated. Im new to the batch file thing...ive never really had a reason to mess with it. I found out how to stop the service in a batch.
Taskkill /F /FI "SERVICES eq WZCSVC"
But im sure if your vb works ill just use that. I wouldnt mind knowing for my own knowledge though how to do this....anyone know how to make it wait 5-10 seconds? Without using Pause (which just waits for the user to hit a button.)
