Hello: I know absolutely nothing about programming or anything so if this sounds ridiculous please excuse my ignorance.

I want to know how to create a program that does the following:

It runs in the background (only visible from task manager process window).

It waits for a certain program (.exe) to be executed. Then after that certain .exe is closed, I want the program to execute a task kill or just basically close two other .exes running in the process window.

Ex:

The name of this program will be “cool.exe”.

“cool.exe” will run on startup and will sit there doing nothing at all.

I run a program called “Test1.exe”.

Right when I close “Test1.exe”, the custom program “cool.exe” will notice and execute and will close two other programs running in the background (call them “test2.exe” and “test3.exe”

Basically, “cool.exe” recognized when test1.exe was closed so then closes two more exe’s.

Also: It must not use any CPU when idle and must also be very very small and use a minimal amount of ram and resources.

BTW: running Win XP Pro (sp2).

Can someone please help me to create this, please?

It seems pretty basic and simple but I have NO programming experience what so ever!
(I have only made a few batch files which run multiple exes or close multiple exes)

Thank you!
