SOLVED: Save Session for Windows (processes, open files, window positions)

<< < (4/5) > >>

This app seems like it would at least save window positions and move windows to those when it spots a matching window according to several criteria.  It may be worth a look:

I just ran across this freebie:

I just noticed another utility for saving Windows layout. I haven't tried it myself.  The description makes it sound pretty versatile as far as windows matching:

I'm experimenting with this one:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/winsize2/

It individually memorizes windows size/position when you hit a hotkey. It's an ahk compiled script with source included. Looks like it may be handy for those windows that don't remember their position. From looking at the options notebook it seems to use the class name as well as window title or title substring to recognize saved windows.

More for those pesky windows that refuse to remember where you put them than for saving a layout.  But I thought it may be of interest.

Ok, call me silly, but what is it that the hibernation feature in Windows does not have? It's functionally pretty identical to the save-the-vm-state thing people keep offering up, or so I believe anyway.

Sure, it doesn't deal with crashes etc very well, but I wouldn't know how well VMs would deal with that either...
