Many tasks that can be performed on PC's these days require you to close all currently running programs. For example, almost every installer asks you to close all other applications to minimize conflicts and to avoid replacing in-use files. Other high-end tasks, such as burning CDs and defragmenting or scanning hard drives can slow down or even fail when other processes 'kick in', like background programs, the screen saver or a scheduled task.
The following review written by one of the Software Informer contributors applies to version 1.1
SmartClose 1.1 is a tool that allows you to close all currently running programs at once.
This task usually requires a restart.
SmartClose simplifies the process storing the running program information in a system snapshot. Smartclose not only closes all applications, but can also restart/restore them later.
The program also allows you to exclude programs from being closed or restored, as for example applications that are required for Windows to run.
When you run SmartClose 1.1 you will see a main menu that will allow you to perform the following tasks: Create a system snapshot and close all programs, Restore a previously taken system snapshot, View and/or change all the settings of SmartClose, View program information about SmartClose or Exit Smartclose.
The Close Programs Wizard will guide you through the process of taking a snapshot of the system, allowing you to close all running programs, and then restore the system to its previous state, if needed. You will be prompted to save the snapshot under a file name. You can later use SmartClose to roll back the system to that state.
It´s a powerful tool that allows you to save lots of time. It´s free.

What's new in version 1.3
- Fixed: in some cases, SmartClose didn't save the closed/killed programs to the system snapshot.
- Fixed: after running the Close Programs wizard more than once in the same SmartClose instance, the closed/killed programs and stopped services didn't get saved to the system snapshot correctly anymore.
