EscapeClose Pro |

|
EscapeClose Pro is a tiny utility, allowing you to close or minimize the active window by
pressing the Esc button. Or, to work more carefully, it can position the
mouse cursor in the upper right-hand corner of the active window, where the Close
button is located. You can hide active window. Thus you can see it neither in the TaskBar
nor in the Task Manager list (Ctrl+Alt+Del) nor in the list opening by
pressing Alt+Tab. And now you can hide
active window in the tray. You can use a mask to select files in standard
Windows Explorer by pressing the keys *, + and - on the numeric keypad! (like old
Norton Commander or Total Commander or FAR). It is especially useful when you are
working with dozens of files and folders at once. It has 11 working
modes, stays in the system tray, support of exceptions, can maximize or minimize
the any active window when the F11 button is pressed (like
MS Internet Explorer), can automatically run at Windows startup, can
temporally stop the screensaver start (e.g. to watch a movie). Using
this program, you will make fewer movements, which will increase the productivity of your
work. |

What users are saying about EscpeClose Pro:Wonder
why no one else thought of "Escape Close," it is one of those little programs
like in the days of W3.11, that do one thing well and make up for a Windows short comeing.

mouse. Saves the mouse and the hands.
