How about the option to "Clear ALL" to stop prevoiusly closed programs from popping up again UNWANTED, unless you can fix the problem. bigbazza

Thanks skrommel for a great application.

One bug on my XP machine: when I press the Start button, the whole task bar disappears, and after the 60 seconds I get a system Shutdown message.

Indeed on the Start button I get two tooltips - the original "Click here to begin", and additionally the app's "Gone in X seconds".

I have got the same problem of apps coming back automatically after 60s and I think a KILL via tray would be a good an easy solution to this.

Guess who made it to CNET's "The Daily Download Blog"? And featured in the corresponding newsletter, too

Skrommel's seems to be on a sabbatical but maybe all these bug reports may tempt him back.. $:-\$

I hope it does! As for now, the bug with winodws reappearing again and again became so unnerving, that I removed the app from my system :-(

Could you please include a 16 x 16 icon as well? Thank you kindly.

Bug: Add Explorer.exe on IgnoreList and try to close the Explorer Window, nothing happens...
BTW I use QTTabBar.
Ok, some seconds later everything worked... o_O strange...
(Is it possible to disable the Tooltip with the info, which process is hovered?)

I just came across this tiny app which is just what I've been looking for! Thanks a lot!

Unfortunaly however the GoneIn60s.exe has NO icon here (XP Home Sp3). I've re-downloaded it several times, always NO icon, just the name is visible. And what is worse: No icon in the systray either when the app is running?!?!?

Does anybody experience the same bug??? Can the author help me, please?!?

This might be a case of skrommel needing to recompile this.. Skrommel wake up!

lanux128 · « **Reply #35 on:** October 21, 2008, 03:20 PM »

given the prolific rate that Skrommel writes programs, maintenance will usually take some time.

skrommel · « **Reply #36 on:** October 22, 2008, 10:13 PM »

Just uploaded GoneIn60s v1.4!

- Added option to ignore classes, closes windows when exiting.

Great idea and program! I'm testing it out w.r.t. : IDEA: reopen recently opened explorer windows, history, MRU (thanks to lanux128's suggestion)

I found it amusing while testing that the program's own about box can be recovered -- what a nice bit of semi-self-reference

ewemoa · « **Reply #38 on:** November 05, 2008, 03:41 PM »

In my environment, it appears that (perhaps w/ other factors involved) VirtualBox and GoneIn60s don't play well together [1]. Specifically, I'm finding that some times GoneIn60s doesn't appear to "capture" the apps that I close.

[1] I guess this is not too surprising and I'd hazard a guess that some VMWare products might behave similarly though I haven't tested this myself.

that'd be my guess as well. visualization might interfere with the windows detection.

ewemoa · « **Reply #40 on:** November 06, 2008, 04:45 AM »

My current guess is that apps that do focus-related auto-capturing [1] (e.g. VirtualBox, VMWare, some VNC clients [2]) are likely suspects in being trouble-makers for GoneIn60s.

[1] Is that what you mean by "visualization"?

[2] Now I have to find some app that has a name not beginning w/ the letter V that I can suspect...hmmm...oh, I did have some trouble while using VirtuaWin [3]...darn, that begins w/ "V" too

[3] Haven't narrowed it down enough to say for sure -- will keep an eye out for this to come up w/ reproducing instructions.

i meant 'virtualization'. i had meant to say that these type of software might interfere due to the way the AHK script detects the active window. sorry about the typo.

Thanks for the clarification -- I think I understand better now

Perhaps if a number of offending apps use a similar approach, if that approach could be coped w/, it would mean that individual app-specific work-arounds wouldn't be necessary...OTOH, may be there are no (or very few) users who are actually experiencing these problems...

cmpm · « **Reply #43 on:** November 07, 2008, 03:22 AM »

This is similar to the request.
I don't know how it works, i haven't tried it.
And the homepage for it will not come up.
But here it is at snapfiles.

cmpm · « **Reply #44 on:** November 07, 2008, 06:30 AM »

Well, I installed it and used it.

It's great for system snapshots.
But to make one it shuts down everything it can.
So it knows what to open back up I guess.
It does keep the computer running at a minimum.

Then restoring the snapshot starts everything it closed.

I had ms word, ac browser plus, slickrun and firefox opened and up on the screen.
It restored everything back to the way it was including the web page I had Firefox on which wasn't my home page.

So it's not similar to the requested program of this thread.

But I think it is unique in that it will open back up everything you had up and working with. Like a workspace saver. And more then one 'workspace' can be saved.

But it has to close everything it can to save. There are no selective options for one or a few programs and services.

So, sorry it don't fit the thread, it's a different deal.

edit-found it here also, didn't search dc for it, before finding it

I like to request a feature; an option to remove an item from the list.

It's not possible to close the program permanently, so I have to wait the whole 60 seconds (or different) for the program to close.

kingsmob77 · « **Reply #46 on:** October 20, 2009, 06:03 PM »

I'm having an unexpected problem with GoneIn60s.

If I close an app using Alt+F4, everything works as expected. However, if I just click the close button (X) of a window, it will not end up in the list to be restored.

Am I misunderstanding how it is supposed to work?

- If not restored, it is gone in 60 seconds

can we disable this? ie. to maintain as many as possible last closed program windows?

CrawlerBrinx · « **Reply #48 on:** October 07, 2012, 11:37 PM »

An awesome idea with a bit buggy realization.
Nonetheless, thanks for that util!

consumer4beta · « **Reply #49 on:** June 29, 2014, 08:23 PM »

Hi Skrommel, first of all sorry to bump an old topic but this app is such a genius. Gonein60Secs in fantastic but would it possible to remove the timeout entirely? How about remembering it until the user logs out/restarts, essentially turning GoneIn60seconds into a Recently closed apps list like the list Windows maintains for documents?
