Hi,

Indeed.

For now, I just use a batch file...

Files requried:

http://www.paralint.com/projects/notifu/
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896682.aspx
https://toastify.codeplex.com/

Make sure you change "SPOTIFY_PATH" and droped requried files in that folder.

If you want to start the batch file completely hidden, you can use hstart64 @ http://www.ntwind.com/blog/hstart-x64.html

Then start batch file via something like:

E:\Apps\hstart\hstart64.exe /noconsole /wait /D="" "E:\Spotify\Spotify.cmd"

So it starts all three programs, Spotify, EZBlocker, and Toastify.

Then when you exit Toastify, it will close Spotify and EZBlocker too.

Make sure in Toastify settings you check "Close Spotify when use close Toastify".

Enjoy,

Will

Thank you for the idea. I knew how to do basic batch files so I just made a batch file to open Spotify and EZBlocker. Didn't know how to close them simultaneously, though. I'll try to use your method.
There are people more lazy than us and having an EZBlocker option for this would be nice.
