task manager

[2michaelwu]

When I used the task manager to check all the running programs, I can always go to the MENU and do KILL or KILL ALL to delete the current running program. Howerver, this time I try to use this method to KILL, one file is still there....and it is called poutlook.exe.........by anyhow I could kill this file, and anybody know what is this file for.......

Thanks....I love this forum, it saves me a lot of times for finding solutions.

When you kill some apps, it will show up as it's file name. Just like poutlook.exe. As hockey stated, poutlook.exe is the contacts app (pocket outlook). When you exit task manager and open it again it won't be there. So this means that it's killed. Don't know why it does that...

Yes....thanks for the reply....what I did another approach....after I kill the program in the task manager, I did refresh it, but the poutlook.exe was still there......so I did turn off the phone and turned it back on.....the poutlook.exe was gone.........I LEARNED SOMETHING....need to be no panic, turn off the phone, miracle will come......

Rudyboy....as to answer to your question Why.....that is a long story. As the very beginning using the 9h, I have hard time to connect with the internet, once I got connected, I got excited and did chatting with friends, very pound of the phone feature; but I did not reconized the run time, by some mistake at that time my carrier did not set up my phone right for having unlimed internet service....by the next month, I got the limited usage message and I need to pay HUGE (triple than the cost of my phone)..and by that time onward...I make sure to kill the internet program when I am done......Fortuately, I am using the UNLIMITED internet now...

Yeah, but it seems like he was saying was that before, he wasnt on his unlimited plan, but he is at the moment, though it sounds like it could change. Thats what Im gathering anyway. Once you get billed for something (I've been billed for 3K one time, long story) of internet usage, trust me, you get pretty paranoid.

Is there any real advantage/disadvantage to killing tasks? Does the phone bog down if there are several things running at once? I also have gotten in the habit of killing tasks (in the 1 week I've owned my Q9c), but I'll quit wasting my time if it doesn't help anything.
