BTW, after some help from Scootz, I found out my problem. For at least Windows XP Home users, you must use "tskill" instead of "taskkill". Then you only need to give the process name. Example would be tskill Toontown

---------------------------------------------------------------------
EDIT: I wrote my own code that currently only supports US Open Server. This WILL work with Win XP and above. More support can be added with input from others. PM me if you are interested in helping out. You must be a user of TT TEST, UK, Brazil, or Japan in order to help.

See attachment for the .bat file.

I have been getting replies through PM that the batch file doesn't work on certain versions of Windows. Anyone with that problem, try dmaxel's zip file. I haven't tried it, but thank you dmaxel for your contribution to the thread. It is on page 3 of this thread, it is not showing up quoting the post because it's an attachment, so you don't have to do anything but unzip and click

Also he posted....

"If you want a very simple way to kill the Toontown.exe process, just do either...

taskkill /f /im Toontown.exe

or

tskill Toontown

Most users should have no problem with the first command. However, there are exceptions, and some people (including Windows XP Home users) have to use the second command." The first command is the one I posted so try tskill Toontown instead and try that if the zip file doesn't work.

If anyone has any suggestions feel free to post them. Thanks...

My method is a tad bit more complex, but I'll try and explain it. I opted to use this method since I run Windows 7 and I find PSKill much more reliable than any other tool I have tested so far.

First off you need a tool called pskill. To get that you need to go to here http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/s.../bb896683.aspx and download the PSTools zip file (I opened that and grabbed only the PSKILL.EXE file). It does not matter where you place the file as long as your batch file is in the same location. To keep it simple I copied it to my Windows system 32 folder for Example c:\Windows\System32 or C:\WINNT\system32 (depending on how your system is setup). This way the PSKill command is recognized from a Command Prompt or CMD window without requiring the batch file to be in the same location.

Open notepad, then type "pskill toontown.exe". Then click "Save As" put the following in the file name "TTEmergencyExit.bat" (use the quotes please, this forces the file name to use the .bat extension to create a batch file instead of a text file) then save the batch file in the place of your choosing.

I then right click on the batch file and choose "Create Shortcut", this creates a shortcut for the batch file that you can then drag to your start menu to furather customize it.

Once I have the shotcut in my start menu I right click on it and choose "Properties". A window opens with several tabs in it. Click on the "Shortcut" tab. Then click on the "Change Icon" button. You will get an error saying about no icon being present, that's ok, once you click on it you will see several icons to choose from. Be creative :-).

Good luck on your adventure with the "forced" TT crashing. :-). I have used this for several weeks and it seems to work just fine. I even wait around and make sure none of the other Toons were stuck in the battle and can assist them if needed. I can click my ICON anytime I want to disconnect, even in battle without losing my gags or going sad.

I asked my friend Steve (Herzog Hopsi Dinozahn) if he could think of a solution for this problem. And he made a nice tool that is really handy.

Just download this ZIP file, extract it and run.

You will need a Windows based PC with .NET Framework version 2.0 or higher, which is already installed on every Vista or Windows 7system, and XP users can get it from Microsoft here, but perhaps you should try first if it runs or not. If it does, you already installed that .NET addon to your Windows.

When you start the program it will show something like this:

The image above shows the processes of two running Toontown's.

Now you have a new option on your right mouseclick menu, when you click the titlebar of your Toontown application.

Click that to exit the game with the kill method: Voilá and you're done!

Thanks to Steve once again, he and me are wishing you, everyone at Toontown Hall and the Tooniverse:

Download adress: http://siggen.toontown-click.de/my/KillToontown/.
Note: The tool surely needs further testing, so please report your own experiences. You should avoid launching the tool twice.

Thanks guys, much appreciated

The updated version now detects when the program is already started and by that prevents malfunction of the program.

1. On your desktop right click and select New, then "Text document" or "Notepad." This works for XP and Vista as well.

2. Once it is created click on it. Then type taskkill /f /im Toontown.exe (I suggest you highlight and copy and paste this)

3. On the top left of screen click "File" then "Save as." Name it anything .bat
For example killtoontown.bat then click save on the bottom right.

4. Now drag the icon to the bottom left of the task bar next to start icon. This will place the icon there. Now u can click it while Toontown screen is up and not have to minimize to get to the desktop icon. When you click this icon toontown.exe will close. All instances of it. If you run 2 toons on one pc they both will close

Here is a command to close Toontownlauncher.exe so you can log another toon in and then automatically bring the log in page up again

1. Click it once and log in.

2. Click it again and log in second account and so on if you have more accounts.

taskkill /f /im ToontownLauncher.exe
start C:\Progra~1\Disney\Disney~1\ToontownOnline\Toontow nLauncher.exe (again I suggest to copy and paste)
(no space between the w and n above)

You do it the same way as killing Toontown.exe process and name it a something .bat

This made shopping much easier, like it used to be

Why can't you just use Alt-F4?

That will make you go sad when you're facing the cogs already. During VP SOS Shopping you often need to wait until the cogs show up to be able to recognize the SOS Toon you would set free and gain as reward. But ending the VP at that stage will result in the loss of all of your gags, especially the Level 7 gags.

1.) Click command-alt-esc
2.) Highlight Toontown Client click Force Quit and click Force Quit again for the 'error message'

Thats it! Good luck!
