What it does

This Exit Options dialog allows you to exit FileBoss without saving any options or setting or any other values to the registry. You can even use it to remove all entries in the Windows Registry controlled by the program.

These options are available if:

The Ctrl key were held down when you selected the Exit item from the File menu or you clicked on the close button on the title bar
The program was started while holding down the Ctrl key. (Doing so prevents FileBoss from loading any of its options and settings effectively making it act like this was the first time it was used.

Exit Options Dialog

 

Normally

All options will be saved to disk and the registry just as they would when exiting FileBoss normally

Without Saving Options

Will exit FileBoss but will not save any options to its data file nor change any registry settings.

Remove Registry Entries

Exits FileBoss just as the above option, but in addition removes the following keys from the Windows Registry:

       HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\The Utility Factory\FileBoss and all its sub-entries

And its five file associations:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.fbexplore

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.fbfileset

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.fbopts

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.fbwins

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.fbdzones

This option is convenient if you are just using FileBoss for a short time on one computer and want to clean up after you exit. If you performed a full install of FileBoss you should use the uninstall routine to clean up FileBoss if you are removing the program from your computer.
