Once Thunder-man starts coding, it's hard to get him stopped. At least once a week, we slide a keyboard under his fingers just to see what he creates. This week he's come up with a tool that makes quick work of deactivating all the active layers on your computer.

Click to view.

Features:

  • If a process is running that keeps a particular layer from closing, Deactivate will pop-up a warning Window. (If an active process does stop one of your layers from closing (e.g. Word) finish Word and click Yes.
  • Use it Stand-Alone, or with your own tools.

How to use:

For a Tooltip if all Layer are deactivated:
- Make a Desktop Shortcut.
- Write behind the Deactivate.exe /yes ( e.g. c:\Tools\Deactivate.exe \yes )

Force...

It will force the layer to deactivate. Some layers have a hard time shutting down, so the ability to force them to turn off is nice.

Advantages

Hi,

most tools are use svscmd * D -F. (force)
Besides, all running processes without will ask killed.
Besides, for example, Word is kill.
The document is not stored.

My Tool "deactivate" use svscmd * D.
A process becomes on asks unanimously. (like SVS Admin)

Thus no data get lost.
