1. Description

CloseToRunXP is a simple application that (1) ends up to six running processes (e.g. YzDock), (2) stop and restart up to two services, (3) starts a main aplication to run (e.g. game) and, finally, (4) starts up to six applications or files after the main application is ended. However, all that with just one click! "CloseToRunXP.exe" is the interface to configure. "Macro 01" and "Macro 02" can be used as a link to start your configuration, without the interface!



2. Requirements

	2.1. Windows XP (not tested in 95/98/Me/NT/2000)

	2.2. Visual Basic Runtime files 5 and 6. You can find those files here: http://www.nonags.com/nonags/ or http://www.tucows.com



3. Installation

	Run the Install program.


4. How to use

	4.1. Run "CloseToRunXP" to configure: 

(step 1) which processes you want to end and, if you want, set a timer to delay the operation; 
(step 2) which services you want to stop (e.g. antivirus) and restart;
(step 3) which is the main application and its command line if necessary (default window is "Normal") and timer to delay the operation; and, 
(step 4) which applications or files you want to start after the main program is finished (you can set window mode and timer to delay the operation individually);
(step 5) will check the configuration.

	4.2. You can use "Macro 01" and "Macro 02" to start the configured operation without the interface.
