Question / Help Prevent Accidentally closing OBS

Please how can one stop an accidental closing of OBS? There is always an alert/prompt when wanting to remove a scene or source but there isn't any when one wants to close OBS. This is so disastrous when in the middle of a broadcast one mistakenly clicks the close button. This feature would be a good add, and there could be an option as to whether one wants to enable the feature or not in the settings.

When you click EXIT in the file menu or the red X it then asks for confirmation.. But, only if you are actively streaming..If you are not live it just closes the program...

Ok, I get that, thank you.

However, the feature would be cool when you aren't streaming or recording because you can use it to overlay different windows etc for the purpose of projection only unto monitors for presentations. It happened to me yesterday, but I was fortunate it was towards the end of our event.
