Like I said, it's up to the program. Hardly any use Ctrl-Q to close any
longer, but even I have one program that does. You can't remove that
from a programs code. It most likely doesn't close every program you
use unless you are running very old programs (it was a standard in the
MS-DOS days that continued in early Windows releases but was later
dropped for a common UI standard).
