Thanks Uvah, but I need the one button for switching on-off. It should be script button.

Are you trying to shut rainmeter down or hide it?
Startign and shutting down can be easy. taskkill APPNAME in a script can kill it and startign it is as easy as calling the EXE.
A two state script would handle that.
What ways are native to rainmeter for hiding/showing?
- Sub Object_OnStateChange(state)
- If state = "Command executed" Then
- MsgBox "You activated me!"
- End If
- End Sub

I am looking way to shut down rainmeter.
I understood what I have to do but I never use "KILL".
---"taskkill APPNAME in a script can kill it"- How to do script for that?
Thanks for replay. I am not sure that I can make it.

The taskkill command syntax: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb491009.aspx

Zubaz's link might do the trick... I've never tried it. Closing a program is, apparently, more complicated than running one.

From my script library - though it's a general script. Worked in Windows 7 for me just now to close explorer.exe so if you send this function the process name it should close it.
Function procKillProcess(strProcess)
strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _
& "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
Set colProcessList = objWMIService.ExecQuery _
("Select * from Win32_Process Where Name = '" & strProcess & "'")
For Each objProcess in colProcessList
objProcess.Terminate()
Next
End Function

You don't have to kill it, just use Rainmeter.exe !Quit

Here's a thought. Don't know if its the correct one though. Make the button an icon then let that icon be the one you use to call up rainmeter. Just set the target accordingly. As for turning it off just right click on rainmeter and click close. Hope this helps or someone comes along with the correct way to do it.
