Possibly PuTTY, possibly something else. It's still hate.

Given that PuTTY is generally pretty damn nifty I'm willing to possibly 
lay the blame on something else (for example, XP itself. Or a a peice of 
Virtual Desktop software I'm running called Virtual Dimension) hwoever 
the hate still stands with ... with SOMETHING DAMMIT.

And it smells like this.

The only way you can close a Putty session is by exiting the shell or by 
killing the process in the Task Manager.

This is retarded.

If I lose my network connection then when I regain it to close all the 
inactive windows I have to go to each of them, restart the session then 
type exit.

GRAAAGAGGAGAGAGH.

This is especially irritating when I've still got my connections open to 
other machines on the same LAN or the Xen instance I'm running on my 
machine because my shortcut of firing up the Task Manager and hitting 
kill process is nigh on impossible because the process name doesn't have 
the host I'm connected to in it.

KILL! MURDER! DEATH!
