What are you using to make the X-button close programs?

I saw WkTask recommended earlier, but that's pretty much overkill. Is there a registry hack that can make the 800w's built-in Task Manager close programs when you tap the X-button?

Is installing HTC Task Manager a good idea, or is there a better solution?

I still stand by WKTask, not just as a closer but as a launcher too...

Re: What are you using to make the X-button close programs?

On the 700wx you could hold the Ok button and it would bring up the Task Manager to quickly close apps (but you probably already knew that).

You might check out QuickMenu. Run a search for it in the Software Forum.

Coz

There's no need to leave PPCGeeks...here's the in-house link for QuickMenu and a nice discussion to answer all of your questions.

Re: What are you using to make the X-button close programs?

I used to use this. I'm about to try it on my 800w.
http://vieka.com/vbar.htm
I've been using iLauncher on my 800w before this but felt like mixing it up a bit.

UPDATE: Don't bother using this now. Looks awful with our 320x320 screens.
Great freeware, but not yet 800w-ready.

It works on the 800w also. That's how I've been doing it.
