I can get a list of running processes (EXE name and PID) but the issue is when pressing Esc 2x, getting the EXE from the current active window. I can get the class, ID, and name of the window but not what executable owns the current window. I am using Visual Dialogscript, a dead and not widely used programming language.

We can private talk to avoid code become public else i should need to know how you "minimize/close" a external.
Just the last step where the actual "minimize/close" happen, not all things that you do before/after.
That way i can hopefully reproduce what you do and what info you do use so i could show you how to get proper process.exe name for it.

That i can offer you.

UPDATE 3.12.4.2018 - Added option to run at windows startup. Better message handling. Changed to show window title in message.

Chris, message following window close always seems to come up, regardless of settings.

I'd rather message NOT come up, if possible.  Just do it.

Thanks!

is there older version without message upon action? Disable not working in the latest release.

Yes, the message -- program exited from, window closed -- has been an annoyance for me as well.  Not sure if Chris has interest to further work on this program, however.

Nevertheless, I use DblEscClose every day.  An easy rapid way to close a window.

Thanks for making this.

Preme has this feature too, but yours seems a smoother implementation of it.

There was also Escape close but that was years old and doesn't always work.
