Pop-up window on exit.

[taraskyn]

Hi all!
I am new to the forum, just registered and I have a very weird question.

Do you know how sometimes after you installed a new software program, - you open it, work with it whatever and then on exit there is a pop-up window asking you to exit or to minimize or it may ask you something else.
Not all programs do that. Anyway on that pop-up window there is usually a box - you can put tick in it if you don't want to see that pop-up window ever again and in my case I did that.
Now who can tell me how to get this pop-up window back on exit?
I tried re-installing the program and it did not help. In fact the re-installed program somehow remembered all my settings from previous setup.
Anyone can help me with that please?

Just want to add.
The program is called Synkron. On exit it asks you to exit or to minimize. If you choose exit it will always exit completely, if you choose minimize - it will go to taskbar when you hit a cross and that's what I desperately need but I chosen exit by mistake and now I never get to see the pop-up window again. There is nothing in the options to change that. Re-installation will not help.
I know there the way to change that. Hope someone knows the answer.

Thanks!!!

Why don't you just minimize it in the first place? In the top right corner of the program windows you have 3 boxes, just click on the first one that looks like this _ or you can right click on the task bar and click on minimize.

Hey johnb35!
Thanks man but you're not helping here. I know how to minimize the window. LOL
You don't have to be clever to know how to minimize the window.
My interest is how to bring back a default pop up window let's say not particularly in my case but in any program.
I know how it's done now. You have to dig deep into hidden files and delete those configuration settings for that program. And this this the only way.

Thanks for reply anyway!

Maybe I'm dumb but why exactly are you trying to do this? I mean if you can minimize it easily enough just by clicking on a button then why are you worried about bringing the option up when you try closing the program? I just don't understand your reasoning behind this.

 

[S.T.A.R.S.]

I just don't understand your reasoning behind this.

Yea me too lol.
Maybe if he accidantaly clicks the CLOSE -> X button,he wants a window to be minimized instead (like in programs such as uTorrent,Bearshare,MSN and so on) in the case he accidantaly clicked the CLOSE -> X button or simply be asked what to do like in programs such as Bearshare.
In programming that is usually called FORM CLOSING event where you use something like:

e.Cancel=true;

...in order to disable the form (window) from closing and instead doing what you want when the X button is clicked.That's kinda cool,only the code for closing the window such as the following simple one:

this.Close();

...will not work on that specific form (window) lol.Of course there are many simple ways to make it work IF you want to make it TO WORK depending on the current program situation.

In the program setting isnt there a setting that says something along the line of, Exit when clicking the close tab.

Johnb35, I was not saying you dumb, please don't get me wrong.:good::good:
But as S.T.A.R.SS said you can accidentally hit the X. And I don't want that especially when I have a choice. I feel like icon is safer in notification tray.
The program is doing scheduled sync for me and if I close it I want to know that it is still running. Otherwise it will be terminated and I will have to reopen it. A couple of more steps, I know, - not a big deal, but as I said if you have a choice why wouldn't you simplify it. That's why I wanted it back.
I did it hard way I deleted all hidden configuration files related to the program and re-installed it. All as new. I wish there was more clever way to fix that.

StrangleHold: there is no setting at all, apart from run hidden and sync all at launch.
