no. i am testing it only on device. as per your suggestion, i have tested it
with another application whcih has only a single form. no problems with that
application and it is exiting normally to the position where it has
started(File explorer window). I am testing in both ASUS & HP devices and
all my applications are written in vb.net.
i have tried with form1.close(), form1.dispose(), application.exit(), but no
change. 7 out of 10 times, it is CLOSING the File Explorer window. (:

Now i have tested with Emulator also. There also, the application closes
the File Explorer Window. I am using 13 forms, and each form has global
reference variable and i use the dispose method just before exit to destroy
these objects. could you please think about this?

regards,
hari
