Wrong way to close programs?

by shooten2 . Updated 20 years, 1 month ago

This is probably a stupid question, but here goes anyway… I’ve been told (by a network admin with a degree and 5+ yrs experience) that it’s not good to close a program by clicking on the red X in the upper right hand corner of the window. According to him, closing programs that way can cause problems and instability of the programs and/or the system. Instead, he said you should always go to the “File” menu, and then Exit from there. This doesn’t seem very legitimate to me – has anyone else heard this, or is it just a bunch of bull?
