k, now we know that you talk about Vista, what you did not mention before, your signature states that you're using XP and Feisty -.-


<ctrl>+<shift>+F9 should do the trick

EDIT: oh and rtfm ;P

I wanted to know if there was a command to do it as I want it put it in a batch file, also the ctrl+shift+f9 shortcut doesn't seem to work anyway.

Works for me.

Well if it doesn't work making a batch file that "pushes" ctrl+shift+f9 won't work for you neither.

try

Code:
net stop uxsms
to stop it and

Code:
net start uxsms
to start it


just make batch files in the system32 dir and give them admin rights.
