Close a hidden program


Tip
Many programs (especially utilities such as screen savers) run in a hidden mode that keeps their icons from appearing on the Win95 Taskbar. This makes shutting down such programs a chore. What to do? Easy: press <Ctrl>-<Alt>-<Delete> (only once!). Select the program's name from the list in the Close Program dialogue box, and click End Task or press <Alt>-E. Be sure not to blow away Explorer and Systray, which are system tools. If you want to exit Windows, click the Shut Down button in the Close Program dialogue box.
