I had been using magic button but then found Inclose. I liked Inclose the best but was having some issues with lockups that I traced back to it. After looking at the developers site I found they had updated it on 6/22.
Just thought that I would report that I have not had any issues with the new version. It sure is nice to actualy be able to close a program!

Have you tried vBar ?? It's the smallest footprint that I have seen - ever - for task manager.

Just looking for one that is really simple and not much of a hassle.

vbar is the best I have found, and it's free

MagicButton by far.

I agree, MagicButton is far better than vbar.

SPB Pocket Plus has it

May not be the most simple but its completely transparent in operation and if you're already using the other parts of pocket plus, why not

I like vbar because of the memory and battery meter.

I know you only want a program to close programs but you should really check out DevState v1.4. It also allows you to add quick launch icons to your screen and shows icons for currently running programs. It will also show the status of your battery as well as memory and storage stats. It's better than Magic Button, it's better than Vbar and it's better than any other program I've tried. Oh I almost forgot, it's also FREE!

vBar - only 80 k size for install - Keep this in mind when you compare shop

Also the battery/mem meter makes this a keeper.

Does it allow you to 'close' programs in the first place from top task bar ?

Otherwise looks like a nice bundle for those needing the info in 'today' page.

It allows you to close them from the today screen. It shows icons on the Today screen for any open programs. You can navigate to the icons with your directional pad and then close individual programs or all of them at once.

could you please elaborate? I read from other users they like vbar because of the battery and memory meters, so, what do you like about MagicButton that makes is far better than vbar? Thanks in advance.

I use DinarSoft's HandySwitcher - sheureka

The only thing I don't like about vbar is that I can't seem to change it's background color. It works like a charm though. Very small and very easy to use.

I downloaded vbar but when I sync'd it to my phone it didn't work. It was in my zip files, after I unzip it I got an error message "vbar22' is not a valid Pocket PC application". What am I doing wrong?

check the attached file, it cant get better then that!

handy switcher works flawlessly for me

it's just a close all program? i sync'd it to my 6700 and all I have is a icon that says close all? is that all I'm suppose to have?
