[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1921967, member: 110816"] Welcome to the Mac world. One question per thread is good, having unrelated questions in a single thread will make for a very meandering conversation. Most apps will not quit when the last window is closed, there are exceptions of course. And you are right that you can't switch to an app that doesn't have an active window open. If you know for a fact that you don't need an applicant hanging around (it isn't dormant per say and is taking up resources), you're better of quitting the app completely. Where this becomes cumbersome is if you are constantly relaunching the app, say for example opening documents in Word. Having to constantly launch takes a lot of time, so in that case just double-clicking the document and have it appear instantly, close the window when done and move onto the next document makes more sense. There is no setting to change this behavior, so it's a change to how you work. [/QUOTE]
