How do you close this damn thing?

What's with that dotted line animation?
It's an indication that EasyShell is scaning your system.Read the next question.
Why is EasyShell so slow in the first minute after start-up?
In the background it scans your hard drive to build it’s internal file database. When that is over your experience will be smooth. While it's scanning, a dotted line animation will be displayed in the upper left corner.
Why doesn’t it know all my files?
EasyShell only scans the Desktop, My Documents folder in XP / Known Folders in Vista/7 and folders in the root of every drive with names like Music, Games,Downloads, Videos ,etc. While it's scanning, a dotted line animation will be displayed in the upper left corner.
Can I add my own commands?
Not now. Maybe sometime in the future if I continue development.
Why do I receive this error: "EasyShell Launcher(UAC) has stoped working" ?
You have moved the EasyShell icon from Start Menu/ Bogdan Stroe to the Desktop. You should have copied it to the desktop. Move it back and make a copy on the Desktop
