Impress3: Close OO at the end of a presentation

Hello,
we have a big medical presentation with lots of powerpoint and also impress presentations from different people. We start the files on a windowsXP "active desktop" with links to the files - that works fine, when the file-type ODP is marked as "play" for standard action.
But on the end of a impress-presentation it jumps in the edit mode. I would like to hava a macro that closes impress without asking for anything by clicking an user interaction on the last slide.

I've tried it with a vbs-macro which kills soffice from the task-list. But this will cause the recovery-assistent on the next startup of a impress-presentation.
I've no idea about oo-macros, but lot's of experience with vba and more vb.net (does'nt help on the oo-objects, i know...)

Has anyone a very good suggestion for me?

Thanks

Peter

Create a button on the last slide with the action CloseQuickstarter

Hello,
i combined the version 1 and 2 of these sniplet.

The shell-command to close the quickstarter does not close my presentation. Therefore i decided to add the code to kill oo from processlist in a oo-macro (my own vbs does the same).
This closes the presentation, but the recovery-helper comes up on starting the next oo-presentation. This should be avoided.

Is there a way to stop acting the recovery-assistant? Ony OO-Option?

Thanks!
Peter
