CloseToQuit

CloseToQuit is a lightweight software application developed specifically for helping you automatically close specific programs before triggering a shutdown session. It can be deployed on all Windows flavors out there.

The utility is portable so you can keep it stored on USB flash drives or other removable devices and carry it with you all the time. Plus, you can open it without having to possess administrative privileges directly from the storage device.

Since it does not leave any entries in your Windows registry and create additional setup items, you may get rid of it by deleting the EXE file that you have downloaded from the Internet. It’s easy to open its interface because you do not have to go through an installation process. A double-click on the executable file does the job.

CloseToQuit sports a simple layout that embeds all configuration settings in a single window. A help manual is not comprised in the package. However, you can manage to set up the dedicated parameters on your own because they look easy to work with.

The application offers you the possibility to build up a list with the utilities that you want to close automatically. You simple need to specify the name of the process, class, or a part of the caption, set up custom parameters, as well as pick the target action that you want to carry out, namely close, kill, or run the selected tool.

What’s more, you are allowed to edit or delete items stored in the list with programs. Tests have pointed out that CloseToQuit accomplishes jobs quickly. It does not eat up a lot of CPU and memory resources so the overall performance of the computer is not hampered.

To sum things up, CloseToQuit comes bundled with several handy and straightforward features for helping you close, run, or kill processes before you shut down your system. It can be tweaked by less experienced users and professionals alike.
