    Why do file still open as read-only after killing process?


    When I press Ctrl+Shift+ESE and kill Excel process, after then I open this file again, but it pops up to be used and can be opened as read-only. I can only open it after restart PC, I would like to know on how to complete kill process under windows 10.

    Does anyone have any suggestions?
    Thanks in advance for any suggestions

    :)

    Auto-kill a process


    Appreciate the suggestion. I use a .bat file here to do essentially what you describe, but my aim is to automate the process - no user intervention. A specified process opens; it spots and kills it. Closest that I have seen is an app that claims to do this on a schedule.

    Auto-kill a process


    As I said, a trivial Autohotkey script - a permanent loop
    loop {
    If process exists - kill it
    sleep n
    }

    (very roughly)

    opening .dds files with gimp

    Simply, HOW? I got the DDS plugin but the POS wont open DDS files still. Can someone give me a step-by-step rundown of how to install the DDS plugin for gimp so I know if I'm missing something?
