How to Close an IE Window Using Task Scheduler 1

[damipera]

Hi guys! Can you advise me on this please? I have a file called apple.html that is to be run daily by the task scheduler. This apple.html will be opened by IE and will redirect to the web address:

http://127.0.0.1/orange.asp.(apple.html

and orange.asp are on same folder)And what I want is to close the window of orange.asp after sometime, say 5 seconds. I can close orange.asp using javascript, i just want to know if it's possible also to close IE using Task Scheduler? Can you advise my on this please? Thanks

You'd have to create a batch file to do that, and give it proper permissions, below the lines you'll need to make it wait 10 seconds and then kill Internet Explorer, realize this will kill all Internet Explorer windows open, there is no way to isolate one window.


The below two lines should be put into a batch file for task scheduler to run, changing the first 10 to 05 will make it wait only 5 seconds instead of 10

@ping 127.0.0.1 -n 10 - w10 > null
TASKKILL /f /im IEXPLORE.EXE
