I have created a batch file which determines all the process started by the user and terminates all these processes.
It kills only the processes started by the user.These processes includes tray applications and background applications.

Using this batch file you can free up lots of RAM before starting any memory intensive application like Games or Video Encoders.You don’t have terminate each and every application to free up RAM.

This batch file works with both Windows XP and Windows Vista.

NOTE:This batch file cannot kill protected applications like that of Anti-Virus and Firewall

SCREENSHOTS

Good work dude!
You can score extra points my making another batch file that restores all closed applications!

Also I think AMD's fusion app does something similar...closing applications before starting a fps thing..
