Quick way to Memory status

Hi All,

Just wondered if its me, and this is the way to do it, but when i open my
programs i always goto that memory status setting and close the programs
that way, is that the best way to do it ?

Also as i use that alot, is there away i can make that a quick button on my
pda?

Thanks!

Best suggestion is to install a "task manager" I use VBar and can't
live without it... some features

tiny
icon shows both memory and battery levels
"X" actually closes apps
Menu allows;
move directly to any open app
close specific apps
"Close All" option
free

You might to try Magic Button which is a nice application to really
close applications. Best of all it's free. Download from

I installed VBar on my Ipaq 2215 (and I think it is great to see battery on
the home screen). I have noticed that suddenly the cleartype tuner (which
allows you to alter the text display for readability) keeps coming up,
without a close/minimize button. I can replicate it by:

0. Close all programs (using VBar, or go into memory settings and do it
manually)

1. start/settings/system/power (which I was doing initially to verify the
VBar display)
2. click 'OK' to close the power window
3. click 'OK' to close the settings folder

boom, I have the cleartype tuner screen with no obvious way to exit. I
eventually figured out that if I click to the right of the VBar titlebar
display (where the 'OK' should be) it returns to the home screen. However,
while that cleartype tuner screen is up, VBar indicates that no programs are
running (no close/close all options; just settings or exit VBar). I also
opened notes so I could use VBar's "close all" option, and that still didn't
close out the Cleartype Tuner.

Is this a known quirk, or perhaps is my PPC OS is too old for the current
version of VBar? Google gave no love on this issue.

Thanks for any insights,
Keith
