MORE INFORMATION
When an MS-DOS application is closed that is run from a PIF file without the &quot;Close Window on exit&quot; option checked, an inactive application window remains open until it is also closed. To close an inactive application, press ALT+SPACEBAR and choose &quot;Close&quot; from the pull-down menu.
