Red face Best way to close Limewire and end Task Manager Processing

Hello All, On other threads I've read some of the ways others close LW..some do by clicking the icon in the taskbar by the clock...others by ctl/alt/deleting. This last way I'm not exactly sure of how to do?? Can anyone explain exactly what is meant by this method?

Also, even after I've closed LW, it still shows in the Task Manager Processes as running, right at the top, using the most CPU's and Memory.
Is it ok to use the "End Process" ?? I'm warned doing this may mess something up???
I changed in Tools/options/system tray to have LW close completely upon shutdown. Is this all that is necessary so it doesn't keep processing?
Thanks for any and all info.
And happy holidays.

Remoc has a spectacular aura about

RIGHT Clicking the Icon in the tool bar should be enough to close Limewire. Will give you like three choices. Just click exit. Thats the only way that I've ever exited Limewire. You can check task manager after this method to make sure it worked.
If you have to exit with task manager by end process it will NOT mess anything up. That warning is mostly for things that may effect your OS, Windows, or Security. If it's a stand alone program like Limewire it should'nt have any effect on anything.
