I tried "Gone in 60 seconds" a couple of months ago, and I ended up uninstalling it. It brought everything back without me asking it to. If I closed the program again, it would reopen it in 60 seconds again, and again, and again...
I would love to use this program, but not until I can prevent that glitch from happening. Any suggestions?
skrommel:
:tellme: I'm a but uncertain of what you mean, but I've made GoneIn60s close, not kill a program, to have it ask whether to save any unsaved work. It might be that this is happening.
I could make an option to kill a window instead of closing it...
I've also thought of making it so that rightclicking the X-button kills a program.

No, I must not have explained it clearly. Let's say I finished using Program A, so I closed it and had no intention of reopening it. I went on about my business, but a while later Program A popped up all by itself, re-opened by "Gone in 60 Seconds." I frowned and closed it, and in a little while it popped up again, re-opened by "Gone in 60 seconds." This went on endlessly until I uninstalled "Gone in 60 seconds." That's the problem I was referring to.

:tellme: Exactly the behaviour you would get from an app with unsaved data.

Just to feed back to you. There's some problems with, what I think ,the way such software can "catch" closed software. For example, on exiting an app with unsaved info, some spawn a new dialogue asking you whether you want it saved or not, others must spawn a dialogue as part of their app. I am a web developer not a win32 developer so perhaps I am mistaken.
For example the dialogue box on exiting notepad causes problems with GoneIn60s. I also had some problems with Quicktime, closing it while it's still buffering and downloading a movie locked up my pc. I guess this is due to Quicktime's implementation, maybe there are too many variations?
