In every Pocket PC, tapping on the close (X) button on the top right corner always minimizes the current application, while in many cases your really want to close that application. With HandySwitcher, the close (X) button can close your application. A simple tap on the button can either close or minimize the current application, you decide. Through HandySwitcher's options, you can configure what "Tap" or "Tap and Hold" on the close (X) button will do.

To bring HandySwitcher up, just tap on its icon in the top of your screen, or even assign it to a hardware button and bring its menu up with a simple touch of a button.
There is no more unwanted programs running and taking valuable memory and processor power. HandySwitcher can close the unwanted ones.
There is no need to launch the application again to bring its window to the front. Use HandySwitcher to switch to any running program.

You can build an ignore list which will have the list of programs you always run and don't want them to appear in the HandySwitcher's menu. This means when you "close all", those in the ignore list will not be closed.

Click on the running application icon or naem to switch to it, click on the [X] beside it's name to close it.
Also great news for HandyMenu, and/or HandyLauncher owners: HandySwitcher detects them and integrates with them. It optionally adds their icons on the top of your screen. This will really make them accessible from within any application without the use of hardware buttons. HandySwitcher also uses their default or customized icons.

Hi, great program indeed.
It's seems like in version 2.7 the unlock-key is determined by the specific "Pocket PC Code"

Image

So the generic code mentioned above will not be working for 2.7. Does anyone have an alternative?
