Restoring a minimized window???

[Cameronatserve]

Hello all... Often times, when i use certain applications on my q, ill accidently hit the "back" button, right next to the "end call/power" button, and the program will get minimized and i wont be able to return to the app... This occurs with programs like pocketnesterplus... and believe me getting to world four in super mario bros and then accidently minimizing it (and not being able to return) is quite frustrating. This occurs in programs where you can run more than one instance of it at the same time (unlike say, IE). Is there a tool i can use on my q that will restore minimized windows???

Most of the Task Managers including the built in one will let you switch between running apps, Qtask is not free but lets you toggle between apps w/hot keys and sometimes the back arrow will get you there. Try a bunch of them out for a while until you find what works for you. I use Quick Launcher to get me back to my Profimail with 2 key presses and Live search with 2 plus one down arrow.

Try a bunch...that's what makes the Q fun we can all set it up the way it suits us personally.

You're right and I was wrong the built in one doesn't do it. WM 5.0 Task Manager does it. Another way might be to set a speed dial for your program. Start/right soft key/add speed dial
Then you could just hold down one key to get you back. Although I don't know how it returns to Pocketnester plus. Is that an apps that runs in a java emulator. If so to whole program might close if you're closing the emulator.

WM 5.0 can be found on the links under this sites MOD's signatures.

when/if for example you have PIE running in the Task Manager it will "use" that instance if you would start PIE... it will not start yet another instance so that is kind of like restoring a window as you call it.
