gort, dunno if there's a better or recommended way to do what you want. Strikes me that if you access the proggie you don't want to use, it'll show up as a proggie in use in your taskbar with a square for it and you can RIGHTCLICK the square representing that proggie and close it. Seems like that should do what you want?
HTH.
