Closing programs

kgb · 07-13-05, 08:10 AM

I notice when I close out of a program using the "X" it is still running somewhere according to the memory menu. How can I close these without going through another menu?
Thanks!

I use a helpful application called magic button which closes programs when you press the x button run a google search for it :approve:

You need a third party application like Wisbar Advance or alternatively just go to Start > Settings > System tab > Memory > Running Programs tab, and stop the running programs that you want.

If you don't want to install anything, use the built-in switcher bar: Start - Settings - System - Switcher Bar.

You can also use a Switcher Bar that comes pre-installed on AXIM. You can enable it by going to Settings -> System -> Switcher Bar.

When you click on it, you have an icon at the top of the screen showing a square with two arrows in it. Click on this icon to activate and go to the program to close things open.
