Most PPC applications do not actually shutdown when you close them with the application X button. They will still be running in memory. Magic Button is a nice FREE solution for shutting down PPC programs and saving memory. I have tried it and it works.
MAGIC BUTTON
Why Magic Button worth considering to download and replace your existing one:
It is free for personal use.
Does not take up any of your screen real estate, yet easy to access.
Located on title bar but does not cover any standard info, i.e. Sound icon, notification icon... It matches perfectly with the current theme.
Very small foot print (memory usage). Only 40kb executable file does it all (help file is extra).
Makes close button really close applications. Just in case you haven't noticed, the default one only minimizes them.
Provides Task bar with running task icons, activated by tap and hold on the Close/OK button. It hides automatically when you don't need it. Map a hardware button to MB then show or hide task bar with a touch
