Shutting down all applications
When you want to shut down an application, you tap on the “X” icon located in the upper right corner of the display. For example, when I've finished working on this “Tips and Tricks” article for the next issue of Pocket PC magazine, I'll tap on the “X” and Microsoft Word will ask me if I want to save the changes to the document. I'll select “Yes,” the document will save, and Word will close down.
This is not the way it works on the Pocket PC. You will find the little “X” icon in the upper right corner of the applications. But when you tap it, all it does is go back to the previous application you were using, or ultimately the Today screen. The point is that all the applications you've opened are still running in the background, occupying your device memory and slowing things down. To close them down completely, follow these steps:
- From the Start menu, go to the Settings > System folder.
- Tap on the icon labeled “Memory” and select the tab labeled “Running Programs.” You should see a screen similar to the one in Fig. 3.
- From the Running Program List, highlight the program you want to stop, and tap on the Stop button at the bottom of the screen.
- If you want to close down all of the programs in the list, tap on the Stop All button.
