It takes THREE clicks to close Solitaire after a win - 1. Trying to close
from upper right X generates a 2. popup "Do you want to start a new game -
yes/no and 3. finally close window for real from upper right X or file, I
tried closing directly from the Taskbar to see if I could do it from there
with one click but it generates this error about an Applet problem:

AppName: sol.exe AppVer: 5.1.2600.0 ModName: unknown
ModVer: 0.0.0.0 Offset: 000000fc

How can I get Solitaire to just close with ONE click and stop this error? I
have error reporting turned off. Thanks.

Hi saynotogmos,

I was able to close solitaire in one shot using the
ALT+F4 sequence. Is that quick enough for ya? :-)

Thanks for trying but that's not working for me. The result is the same as
clicking on the X and gets me to step 2 of my original process description.
Still takes three clicks. :(

Go into options and unclick\untick the options that start with
'Prompt...'. This should do the trick.

There is no "prompt" option in the Solitaire menu. Are you talking about
options elsewhere? This is driving me nuts!!!

Simply press F5 to access the options. Then look again for lines that
start with : prompt

F5 doesn't do thing here. Thanks for trying yet again. I'm mostly on
Ubuntu these days anyway . . .
