Batch File to turn off MagicJack when you don't need it.

I got tired of having the jack program running constantly, and restarting whenever I rebooted my PC. This DOES mean that it has to "install" itself every time I plug it in, but I'll take that over it's constant use of system resources.

I wrote this batch file to solve the problem. It works with XP, hasn't been tested with Vista.

Code: Select all

taskkill /F /IM magicJack.exe /T
taskkill /F /IM mjsetup.exe /T
REG DELETE HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run /v cdloader /f
del /q "%userprofile%\Desktop\magicJack.LNK"

Just copy that into a text file, rename the file from .txt to .bat and then run it to stop MagicJack.

The first two lines stop the two parts of Jack that are running.
The third line stops the "restart automatically on reboot" function
The last nine deletes the desktop shortcut.

Let me know if anyone finds it useful.

Thanks.

Doesn't work. Taskkill is not a valid command, and your batch file screwed up autorun.

That's odd.

What version of windows are you running?
