Default Auto close windows

Hi folks,

I'm looking for a little utility (preferably free) that will sit in the taskbar, and whenever a certain window opens, it will close it. I've found BuzOf from Basta computing, but do you know of any others?

I'm writing some automated (script driven) tests for one of our products, and occaisionally I need to clear a message box that might pop up (and stop the script from running).

Thanks,
Iain

I could write something myself, but haven't got the time (or inclination) to go fiddling around at the moment...

For anyone who's remotely bothered, this is something like Iain wanted:

http://reefbeasties.com/Taskkill.exe




i amended it so that you can create a short cut to start the app with a window title, eg; "C:\mkt\vb code\W\enum_win\Taskkill.exe" "Calculator" in the Target path of a short cut - you can start it with windows then

it's case sensitive too.
