Remembering Where you were

Apologies if this is wrong place, or has been covered....

As a developer, I tend not to log out, because that means shutting down (typically)

  • Outlook(2 windows typically
  • Visual Studio (8 files open)
  • IE (5(windows) & Firefox(2 tabs)
  • Word (2 windows - or more if I have several emails on the go)
  • Photoshop (with a few screen grabs in unsaved windows)
  • Access
  • Media player
  • Windows explorer
  • Our own VB apps

I think any user would like to be able to reboot, and come back to all these files exactly as they were before the re-boot.

This would significantly affect my working habits - encouraging me to power down at night (save energy ergo a green feature) and remember what I was doing before!

I think it would also remove a significant hassle to millions of users, and be a significant selling feature...

Is this being considered?

Hi SF1,

My Dell laptop, running Windows XP, has been handling that situation perfectly since I got it four years ago. When I'm done in the office I just shut the cover, put it in the bag, and go home. When I'm home I just open it up, wobble the mouse, and it wakes up exactly where I left it. If I don't open it up right away I may need to hit the power button, but again it comes back exactly how it was when I closed the cover at the office.
