Preventing use of the "X" to close an fP application

[George Simon]

I use a utility called ConsoleNoClose.exe supplied by Uwe Sieber - www.uve-sieber.de

Description: Disables the X button and removes the close menu item of all console windows when they become active.

Only way to exit filePro when this utility is in use is through the task manager.

Windows 2008 Server
filePro 5.07

We use a free utility called NoClose which disables the 'X'
