- Well, this is one of those simple little programs that can make life
- a little easier. The purpose of this program is simply to allow you
- to double-click on an icon and shutdown Windows. This I found to be
- easier than going through Program Manager.
-
- You can just simply exit Windows, or configure it to display a dialog
- box asking you if you really want to exit. This is similar to what
- you get from Program Manager.
-
- BUT DON'T WORRY!.
-
- This method of closing down Windows is the same way Program Manager
- does it. So no work will be lost. For example, let's say you have
- EXCEL running with a spreadsheet you just created or modified, but
- haven't saved yet. EXCEL (and all running programs) will get notified
- by Windows that it is closing down, so you have a chance to save your
- work.

-
- To install WinExit, just add it to the LOAD= line in your WIN.INI file.
- The program is setup to only allow one instance of itself. I didn't
- see a point to have two running.
-
- WinExit's system menu has 3 new options. The first is the menu
- equivilent of double-clicking the icon. At the bottom of the menu is
- the ABOUT box and the EXIT DIALOG BOX option. The EXIT DIALOG BOX
- option is a toggle. If this is toggled on (a checkmark will appear),
- when you double-click a dialog box will appear asking you if you really
- want to exit. This setting is saved in the WIN.INI file under the
- keyword [WinExit].
-
-
- I would like to here your opinions and suggestions on WinExit.
-
- I am releasing this program in public domain.
