Hi Jeff,
Here is the batch file I use for Window Eyes XP home. Sorry it took so
long to post this. I have had other projects and didn't read your post until
today.

Subject: kill nonresponsive WE
Kill Window-Eyes when it is not responding:
Several listers have asked me how to use taskkill.exe. I learned this from
someone who posted to the list previously about this subject. It has helped me
a lot and I hope it helps you also.
Here are instructions for using taskkill.exe to close a non-responsive
version of Window-Eyes with XP Pro.
First create a batch file with the following lines:
Note that batch files end with a .bat extension and must be plain text files.
You can save this way with your word processor or to be sure use notepad.
@echo off
rem close window-eyes and all its parts
rem works with windows xp professional
taskkill.exe /im wineyes.exe /f
taskkill.exe /im gwm32.exe /f
taskkill.exe /im speech32.exe /f
taskkill.exe /im bdisplay.exe /f
Save this file in the
c:\windows\system32
directory with a name like
kill-we.bat
The name must end with the .bat extension.
The file Taskkill.exe should be in this directory.
Next create a shortcut on the desktop
called kill we
When prompted for the path to the program enter
c:\windows\system32\kill-we.bat
When prompted for the shortcut to execute this program, enter
shift-alt-control-w
After this is all set up, test it before you have a problem.
This should remove Window-eyes and all its parts from memory.
After using kill we, you may need to re-start Window-eyes and shut it down
properly with alt-f4 and then restart Window-eyes again; however, with 6.1 and
later, this may not be necessary.
I hope this helps.
(below from netbat)
the file name and the commands are different between xp home and xp pro.
both are in the c:\windows\system32 folder
the file name for xp home is tskill.exe
these are the commands that you would put in the .bat file for xp home only.
tskill wineyes /a
tskill gwm32 /a
tskill speech32 /a
tskill bdisplay /a
tskill explorer /a
Note that with WE70 the lines to kill speech32 and gwm32 are not needed since
these have been made internal processes by Window-Eyes.
