Batch file help

Is there anyway I can make a batch file, so for a example when I load notepad, a background app closes, then opens when notepad exits? or is that too complicated.

Thanks smogsy, I have a keyboard that doesnt show the caps lock, num lock ect status, so I use a program that shows it on the desktop (keyboard LEDs). But Alien Isolation keeps minimizing when the keyboard program is running...

So basically it would be good if I could get that program to close automatically when I run Alien Isolation, then start again when I close Alien Isolation

Sorted, thanks smogsy. I put the batch file in the game folder and put this in the file

Code:

taskkill /F /IM KeyboardLeds.exe > NUL
AI.exe
start /B KeyboardLeds.lnk

I put in "start /B C:\Program Files (x86)\Keyboard LEDs\KeyboardLeds.exe" but that didnt work, so I had to make a shortcut to it... Why didnt that work?

Seems like a lot of hassle. Get a new keyboard?

I honestly don't think I even look at my LEDs. If I start typing and caps lock is on I just delete and turn it off? Same with scroll/num lock.

Good to be familiar with command line, though

This is a new keyboard hehe, I had a wired keyboard and that did have LED's, but I have changed to the wireless version and it hasnt any LED's just a batt low LED..

I would buy a different keyboard, but this on goes amazingly well with the rest of my pc. This is the wired version of the keyboard but the wireless is identical.......

Old pics from last year...... Got a nice logitech mx master mouse in light grey too now.

Here's another pic with the mx master mouse and as you can see everything matches quite well, But the desk is more cluttered then before, that Im not too happy about, but I have to buy more stuff dont I arrghhh.

I would say to other people, do not get a light coloured mouse though, because you have to spend your time cleaning the dam thing as it goes a yellow colour from the oil in your skin and if you let it build up it stains the mouse. So I have to wipe it daily.
