[question, please help] suggestions on exiting wow fast to avoid detection

[Skizzilini]

This may sound stupid, but its fairly important to me, and I hope to others.

For example: when you play internet flash games, and some authority figure comes by (ie, boss, parental unit), you want to exit it quickly, you just hit the X/exit button at the top of the internet UI and no one is the wiser, right?

But WoW is a laggy, large game. When I hit "exit game", it lingers for up to a minute, showing the UI and all the wow stuff for the world to see.

I want that to end, and I think people who play at work/school/with-overbearing-parents will appreciate my request.

Does anyone have an addon, mod, or program (small please), that can exit wow very fast in a fashion like you would flash games or an internet window?

Many thanks, and if this is not possible, sorry for the inconvenience.

alt-f4

or do it the old fashioned way...reset

I know that alt+F4 is "exit" in windows, but this closes the window instantly? Without the lag? If so, repz to joo.

Window mode + (alt+tab) works fine.

If you have nvidia graphics cards.
1. Right click on the desktop manager
2. Go to Nview properties.
3. Enable Nview Desktop Manager
4. Go to Desktops
5. Add...
6. Name it, and hit apply
7. Go to Hot Keys
8. Find "Next Desktop"
9. Set up a hotkey and it will flip desktops extremely fast.
10. Open up some School related thing and switch desktops to wow

Change to windowed mode!
When you need to close quick then just hide it in the task menu and Alt+F4 and if should close down just like hold your hand over it or something when it's closing down!

I'm stupid, so how do you change to windowed mode?
