I don't like the applications running background and close them all using taskmanager is a burden for me, is there a way to close the current application completely using an End button?
also would it be possible to start the wifi automatically without going thru the commmanager to turn the wifi on everytime I restart the phone?
thx in advance.

You can use the <-- (back button underneath the right soft key) to close most of the apps.. as you press the button it will cycle through the open apps and close them. But a Task manager is the only real way of terminating applications with no exit menu option. I use celetask, a much better program then the built in task man.
Another option you have is getting CHome configurator if you have WM 6.1 - and create a standalone slide menu that only has the task manager. If anything - it just makes it easier to get into the task manager faster.
BTW: Windows Mobile is notorious for this problem and memory leaks. Another option is to go with a Blackberry ;-)

I use pocketplus to put icons on the desktop of my pocketpc. what i would like to do is remove the system tray icons (i.e. bluetooth and wifi) and use them through wireless manager application. i dont mind if i remove the new menu as well and be able to open a new message document from a shortcut. i hope you understand what im trying to do.
this will make my desktop look a lot neater. also i use pocketplus to create icons on desktop, battery meter and backlight control, close applications. is there any other application out there that takes up less system memory cos i hate having to soft reset once a day. also how do you put this pocketpc in 'flight mode'
thanks
Hi Guys, I'd like to have the HTC task manager in the top right of every program (except full screen obviously) in place of the "X". If I want to exit a program, I usually press the hardware "ok" button and keep it running in the background for fast loading later and keep an eye on memory usage with the top right menu. Is it possible to have the task manager always on in place of the cross?
Yes, that would be great. I did not find anything to get what we want, so far.
As a workaround, I used WkTask (http://soft.photoracer.net/docs/wktask_en.html) which works well, and allows to switch easily from one running program to the other.
Waiting for a better solution, hope that this helps.

Best program iv found by a long way is Showcase. Works like a charm and looks pretty!
SPB Pocket Plus and SBSH both do as you ask... but the come at a premium
pbar works for me. "pBar is able to override the behaviour of the "X" button just like other task managers. In addition, there are a couple of handy shortcuts found on the popup menu. You can even add shortcuts of a couple ..."
I am looking for a better method for multitasking on my Touch Pro 2. I hate having to return to the home screen before I can access the task manager dropdown and select another program. Is there a way to always display the task manager dropdown (except for when an 'OK' needs to be displayed) in all programs? Or can somebody recommend a better way to switch between programs without having to return to the home screen each time? Thanks!
spb alt tab
spb alt tab is great. i have it installed and assigned the push to talk button to run it. it's just like alt tab in windows xp. i forget where i got the cab from, but here it is. enjoy
Thank, I'll give it a shot. I'm trying out Task Facade right now, but it seems like its slowing down my device.
Facade rocks .. its a little slow .. but works great
I Use WkTask and its working pretty good with my TP2. Strongly recomended.
Im however curious about the SPB Alt tab, I installed it and got it working.
But the problem with my TP2 is that I only can program one button, the HOLD+(talk) button on the device for a task. I Do however got 4 other button on the front and Im wondering if there is a way to to select\choose one of these button to a particular task, in this case (Spb alt tab)?
Is there a way (in the registry?) to keep an application permanently running? I don't mean when WM6.5 starts, I mean if you accidentally use the 'X' on an app, is there a way to make it restart itself so that it is always in the background? Some apps have this as a feature or menu setting, but most don't.
Bump. Bump.

It might be simpler to add it to the list of files that are not monitored by the task manager. It can be adjusted in the registry. Try a site search to see if it comes up. I've seen it in the registry, but don't recall where. If it doesn't come up on the site, then search the registry.
That way you won't be able to hit the "X" - the program won't be listed.
I realize it costs some $$, but SK Tools allows you to lock processes so they cannot be killed. SK Tools > Processes > Hold down on the task until a menu pops up, click "add to do not kill list".

Thanks. I'll look into it, though I had hoped for a freeware/shareware app.
You can use the freeware version, but it only has 6 options for every menu I believe. The free trial version may get you what is needed.

Thanks. Looked at it, but didn't even see an option to keep a program running.
There must be some other answer for this
I got the Sprint Touch Pro 2 a few days ago and unlike what I've read in this forum the task manager is not in the System folder. Also there is no Quick Menu.
It resides with all programs but is limited. I can't change the behavior to close programs when I click the "X" the way I had my HTC Touch set and the way it is described in many threads in this forum.
Anybody know if Sprint or HTC changed this phone? Is there a way to get the Task Manger back the way it used to be?
I'd just like to click the "X" to shut a program and know it's actually shut down.
It depends which version of WM you are using. If you are using the stock Sprint ROM, which will be WM6.1, then the X button settings are located here:
Start > Settings > System > Task Manager - Switch to the 'Button' tab; choose 'Enable the X button to end running programs'; select the 1st one 'End programs by tapping X.'
If you are using WM6.5 or higher, you may want to consider AMeBa (search).
Advanced Task Manager
I kept searching and found:
Advanced Task Manger put Task Manager back into Settings and gives me all of the features I was looking for.
