in your code  just after  do while  statement  add this line     Wscript sleep 10000    This will let your script sleep for 10 secs  and let your system take rest  Else your processor will be running this script million times a second and this will definitely load your processor   To kill it  just goto taskmanager and kill wscript exe or if it is not found  you will find cscript exe  kill it pressing delete button  These would be present in process tab of your taskmanager   Once you add that line in code  I dont think you need to kill this process  It will not load your CPU   Have a great day

I can think of at least 2 different ways     using Task Manager  Ctrl-Shift-Esc   select the process tab  look for a process name cscript exe or wscript exe and use End Process  From the command line you could use taskkill  fi  imagename eq cscript exe    change to wscript exe as needed    Another way is using scripting and WMI   Here are some hints  look for the Win32 Process class and the Terminate method

Running scripts can be terminated from the Task Manager   However  scripts that perpetually focus program windows using  AppActivate may make it very difficult to get to the task manager -i e you and the script will be fighting for control  Hence i recommend writing a script  which i call self destruct for obvious reasons  and make a keyboard shortcut key to activate the script    Self destruct script   Option Explicit Dim WshShell Set WshShell   WScript CreateObject  WScript Shell   WshShell Run  taskkill  f  im Cscript exe     True  WshShell Run  taskkill  f  im wscript exe     True     Keyboard shortcut  rightclick on the script icon  select create shortcut   rightclick on script shortcut icon  select properties  click in shortcutkey and make your own   type your shortcut key and all scripts end   Cheers

Start Task Manager  click on the Processes tab  right-click on wscript exe and select End Process  and confirm in the dialog that follows   This will terminate the wscript exe that is executing your script

Create a Name bat file that has the following line in it   taskkill  F  IM wscript exe  T   Be sure not to overpower your processor  If you re running long scripts  your processor speed changes and script lines will override each other
