Tried it but....
Hi there,
I tried this program. It was ok but it is almost 2Mb!!
There are a lot of alternatives which are about 10 or 20 times smaller.

If it's "compatible with Windows Mobile 5", then I take it Win Mobile 5 still minimizes instead of closes when you hit the "close" button? Good to hear Microsoft takes thousands of customer's suggestions into account :roll: I guess the 50k of additional code it would have taken to add an options for users to either minimize or close on exit was beyond their resources. Perhaps they needed to add more "cut and paste" exercises to their startup after hard resets

I don't know about Win Mobile 5 support.
But your remark about cut and paste is after a hard reset made me laugh LOL

Finally! That's the point. To CHOOSE if you want to minimize or close a program. I like people saying "We want a close button that closes programs, not minimize", but if you can not minimize programs, then we end up at single-tasking (Can i smell a 4-letter word called "P*lm" here?...)

There are other ways to switch programs besides the close button, such as using the start menu, that contains a list of the 5 recently used programs.
Regarding this software, it works very poorly on my loox 720, and I have uninstalled it already.

Yes, but that would still be closing/re-launching.

when does M$ ever listens to its customers? ... which for me, is no surprise at all...
- taking out WiFi from AS 4.0 (inspite of the MVPs speaking out)
- how many iterations of the OS do we need to get PocketWord to be more than just a glorified WordPad?
- ditto for Excel...
- and, yes, that "minimize/close" issue - been there since WinCE 1.2
.....
*sigh*
