In my opinion you shouldn't even close it

But is it not also bad practice to close Windows with applications open? So TrackerV3 must be closed before shutting down the system.

I close Windows only every 2 weeks or so. Normally I shut down my computer to hibernation state. But that's an XP only feature AFAIK.

AFAIK, Windows closes any open applications as part of its shutdown process.

Yes, but you don't have to shut down Windows when you shut down your computer: if you don't know that look out for "XP hibernation".

    = NEW OFFICIAL RELEASE. Main changes since last release:
    - Dramatic speed improvements at gathering files (browsing 
      and finding). Accessing networks drives got faster, too.
    - Drag'n'drop on tab headers now can select a tab: if you hover your 
      dragging mouse over a tab header for a second the tab will gain 
      focus. Let's call it "Delayed Dual-Pane" (infact Multi-Pane).
    - Added zip-extraction per drag'n'drop.
    - Added Favorites to Move To, Copy To, and Backup To menus. Now you 
      can easily move, copy, and backup to your Favorites.
    - Various bug fixes.

v4.20.0015 - 19.10.05 18:00
    + Added preview of the following MS Office formats:
      DOC, DOT, RTF, PPT, XLS, CSV.
      Note that they are all previewed through Internet Explorer, so 
      they will appear as if you loaded them into your (IE) browser.
    + Menu View/Show Folder Sizes: added shortcut Shift+F5.
    ! Fixed scrolling problems (includung a couple of side-effects) with 
      file listings > 32767 items.

Note: I just noticed the MS Office format preview does work only if "auto-refresh on file system changes" is off! I'm working on it...

    ! Preview of MS Office formats did not work when "Auto-refresh on 
      file system changes" was active. Reason: the Accessed date of Office 
      documents is reset by the opening application in the moment they are 
      opened; this change lead to an immediate refresh which again lead to 
      an immediate closing of the just opened files. Well, it's fixed.

v4.20.0019 - 23.10.05 17:39
    ! Issue with popup menu location on multi-monitors systems. Fixed (?).
    ! Removed some glitches with preview of MS Office formats.
    ! Alt-Return in the list-view would sometimes bring up the wrong 
      properties dialog. Fixed.
    + Now you can "Open in New Tab" by simply holding Shift when 
      clicking a tree node.
      BTW, of course you should not redundantly hold Shift while you 
      click the context menu command "Open in New Tab": then you'd get 2 
      new tabs.
    * Tree ctx menu, Open in New Tab: does not touch the expanded state 
      of the node anymore. Before it did automatically expand the node.
    * Reports are now independent of file attributes. Before hidden 
      files and folders were not reported if they were hidden and not 
      shown (if "Show Hidden Files and Folders" = Off). In other words, 
      hidden files and folders are now always reported, even if they are 
      currently not shown.
    * "Backup To" is now independent of file attributes. Before hidden 
      files and folders were not backupped/recursed if they were hidden 
      and not shown (if "Show Hidden Files and Folders" = Off). In other 
      words, hidden files and folders are now always backupped, even if 
      they are currently not shown.

v4.20.0020 - 24.10.05 13:38
    + Tree ctx menu: added command "Open in New Background Tab". Opens 
      the clicked folder in a new tab without actually selecting the tab 
      and listing the folder's contents.
    + You can as well "Open in New Background Tab" by simply holding 
      Ctrl and Shift when clicking a tree node.
    * Holding Ctrl and/or Shift while clicking the menu command does not 
      have any effect anymore (in v4.20.0019 this had led to 2 new tabs).
    * List behavior: if multi-selected items are moved or deleted, the 
      new focus/selection (after auto-refresh) is now set to the position 
      of the first selected (now gone) item. Before, the line of the 
      before-focused item was refocused, which does not make a lot of 
      sense.

    + Find Files, Exclude Folders: you can now Ctrl/Shift-multiselect 
      items in the Excluded Folders list and thus easily remove a whole 
      bunch of them.

    + List context menu in find mode: added command "Open Containing 
      Folder in New Background Tab", which does exactly what is says.
    * List behavior: after multi-selected items are moved or deleted, 
      the now focused item is now automatically scrolled into the view 
      port if necessary.
