Mind you, an equivalent unadorned batch file could be just a one-liner : "Taskkill /f /im iexplore.exe" but then, in an emergency, the batch file itself would have to be invoked in some circuitous way, whereby one is deprived the instant gratification of AHK 's wicked "CTRL K" su...

Very useful "Display and Kill" hung application CLI scripts, thanks. In the same spirit, here is a tiny AHK (AutoHotKey) macro to kill any hung web page displayed under WinXP IE8 browser. ;==== Kill misbehaving IExplorer runaway processes ;hotkey combo is "CTRL K" ^K:: run taskki...

Bintext can ext...

Trout 2.0 traceroute has been running like a champ under Win XP for ages (on my machine and, I presume, umpteen others as well). Tested under Win 7 by two PFC members, however, Trout was found to be working fine on a first machine, while stalling on a second one. Anyone else interested to try and r...

Little-known freeware Traceroute utilities: vTrace and Trout In the category of forgotten oldies-but-goodies, besides vTrace cited before, i would like to mention another real jewel: Robin Keir's tiny Trout traceroute . Written circa 2000, this minuscule (33k) program is still running with aplomb 13...

Greetings everyone, (While this post covers programs already in PFC database, the next closely related post is indeed about new suggestions) Heeding Midas' gentle prodding, here is an recommendation which first saw light in the comments section related to Nirsoft's CountryTraceroute program: Among t...
