From this moment, if you double click its icon, your Windows session will be terminated. If you click the icon only once, a menu is popped up; it contains the following commands: Exit Windows The Exit Windows command causes your Windows session to end; it has the same effect as double clicking the icon. Restart Windows The Restart Windows command causes Windows to end and restart. However you will be prompted for saving all unsaved works. Reboot Computer The Reboot Computer command is only shown if the Enable Reboot option has been set from the options dialog box. This command causes your computer to reboot. However you will be prompted for saving all unsaved works. About The About command shows a dialog box with some information about the program. Help The Help command shows the help on Quit. Options The options command pops up the Options dialog box, where you can set up the program options. The other commands have the usual meaning of every Windows program. # Options Choose one of the following: Command line options Options dialog box # Command line options Quit has only one command line option: -x or, equivalently, exit. If specified, this options causes Quit to end Windows immediatley: It doesn't show itself as an icon you can click to end Windows, but the exiting process is started immediatley. This option is useful to have an icon on the program manager to click for exiting Windows, instead to have to choose Exit Windows from the Program Manager File menu. # Options Dialog box In the Options Dialog box you choose some configuration setting. All options, but Enable Reboot option, will take effect immediatly. Confirmation on exit check box If the Confirmation on exit check box is checked Quit will ask you a confirmation before starting the exiting procedure. Stay always on top If the Stay always on top check box is checked, the Quit icon will always be visible on top of all others wiindows on the desktop. Enable Reboot option check box If the enable reboot check box is checked Quit shows the Reboot Computer command in the menu. For this option to take effect you must close Quit and then restart it. This is made to allow network administrators to prevent users to set this option. In fact Quit checks the quit.ini file at the start, and set the reboot option according to that file. If the file is made read only by the network administrator, user will never be able to modify this option. This has been required to me by a network administrator.
