2 part question: Other name of SYSTRAY, & need BAT or SCRIPT

Hello,

I have a video game that will only run if I shut down all the SYSTRAY and
EXPLORER.EXE processes, so I've been told by Tech Support.

The first question is this: If you look at the running processes, what is
the actual IMAGE NAME of SYSTRAY? I don't see anything in there that says
SYSTRAY.

As I said earlier, the only way to make the game run is to delete all of the
process except the aforementioned two. As you can imagine, it is very
tedious to sit there and delete all of the undesired processes one-by-one.

So my second question is this: Is there a way to write a BAT file so that I
can get only the above mentioned processes to load?

If you have a better idea on how to approach this (instead of using a BAT
file), like a script (or whatever), I'm all ears.

I have ADMIN rights to this PC, also, FWIW.

Using XP Pro, SP2 on a 2006 Dell XPS600, with 256mb nVidia video card, with
1gb RAM.

TIA.

I think you'll find that if you shut down explorer.exe your windows will
close!
 
WHOOPS! What I MEANT to say was, the game will only run if I close
everything BUT systray and explorer.exe.

Sorry about the mixup!

As far as I know, the system tray is done by Explorer.
