Subj : Bizarre Problem To : Gary Gilmore From : Larry Athey Date : Tue Jan 09 2001 05:54 am GG> Here's the best way. Make a shortcut for the program in question. In GG> this shortcut, check the "Close On Exit" box. You shouldn't see that GG> pop up anymore. From then on, you run the program from the shortcut Believe it or not, I always check that box. The problem isn't necessarily just a DOS window that doesn't close by itself, it's that damn Windows Pop-Up program support (whatever that's suppose to do). I can't turn it off, not even in a freshly FDISK'ed and re-installed Win98-SE system... --- GoldED+/W32 1.1.4.5 * Origin: Larry's SGMail-Only System * Scottsbluff, Nebraska (1:14/703) .
