I'm looking for some help generating a BAT file (for Win7) that will shutdown a running program. This BAT file would be triggered by a backup program in order to close a running program/process (in this case Dropbox) prior to running the backup.

Take a look at posting to the scripting forum - http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/ITCG/threads
