SmartClose is a free program that will automate the process of closing all running programs. It can also save the state of the system to a system snapshot, so all the programs that have been closed can be easily restarted later by SmartClose.

  • Latest Changes

    - Fixed: SmartClose could hang at startup, with the result that it didn't appear (or possibly only in the task bar), and that the program had to be ended with the Task Manager

    - Fixed: SmartClose failed to see 64-bit processes

    - Fixed: several problems on Windows Vista and 7:

    - SmartClose sometimes failed to detect if a program was closed, and didn't write it to the system snapshot

    - SmartClose failed to retrieve the current path of Explorer windows

    - Possible disappearing buttons, radio buttons and checkboxes when pressing the Alt-key

    Premise: I run Win95B, which is supported by the program.
    The program, on my system, says and not delivers.
    I mean: what it claims would be very useful, but when I ran it it started closing some apps/tasks but it couldn't finish the operation that explorer.exe crashed and I had to reboot.
    So maybe works on XP, but not on my system:-(
    Merry Christmas!

    Works quite well. Makes it easy to free up memory prior to playing a game, and then allows you to restore everything that was shutdown. Very similiar in function to windows taskkill.exe, but much more powerful and user friendly.
