Hi,
I may add that sometimes clients want to disable the Global quit button, but still need to exit SF without plugging in keyboard. This can be achieved by using standard for Win 7 on screen virtual keyboard.
As a result you don't have a Quit button, but have a hidden virtual keyboard (that can be made visible by touching a special area of the screen). As it appears, you may press "ESC" and SF closes.
Many people want to avoid that users close Snowflake so that they end up in Windows, therefore this function is disabled by default.
You can however enable a function in the corner menu which will allow you to exit Snowflake without using a physical keyboard.
You can enable this feature in the Configuration Editor that comes pre-installed with Snowflake.
Activate the setting in the screenshot that says "Enable Global Quit Button" (see below screenshot)
