WHAT'S NEW?
  1.1 - Added shutdown button vs. close all button,
        Shutdown closes all and takes you to the shutdown prompt.

What is CLOSER:

    A small program that adds 4 icons (buttons): Minimize all, Maximize 
all, Close all WINDOWS, and Shutdown...allowing 1-click rapid 
start up or shut down of all your running programs (and the computer).

How to use CLOSER:
    
    Create a shortcut to the closer.exe file in your StartUp folder to 
load the buttons every time you restart.  This folder is usually 
located:  MyComputer\c:\windows\Start Menu\StartUp

To get the options window back, RightClick on an icon.  Options can 
also be set in the "closer.ini" file.  The options are auto-saved when 
you exit.

Caution for critical data files:

    Most programs presenting Info screens advising you to protect your 
data or confirm shut down before exiting are still operational with 
CLOSER...and appear in order if you click on Close All.

    If you have any critical programs where accidental Exit may lose 
important data, be sure to test Closer with a dummy file open 
first...just to be sure your reminder screen is functioning.

Registering CLOSER:

Run the program to see registration info. Then enjoy the speed of a Hot 
Exit with CLOSER!
