No idea how I can follow all currently open files (or windows) to a file text or other sort of newspaper? Something similar to the Applications tab in the Manager of tasks, but with a path

I am interested in creating a batch file or executable that will keep track of all of the currently open windows (files and applications)

so that when Windows restarts I can more easily return to what I was doing before.
This can be done either by connecting each operation on the file - open and remove items in the list when an item (file or window) is closed (logging only at this time here)
, or by checking every 5-10 seconds that windows and files are currently open.
I tried using TaskList, and OpenFiles to it but cannot do things, plus those also do not provide a path to open files - I want to keep the paths so that the items can be recovered (reopening) with a single click.   Any ideas how to do this?   I use Windows 7 Professional.
My idea is to have the possibility to go back to all that I was working on, without having to memorize the list...  It is very useful for people who keep a lot of files and windows open most of the time, especially if for some reason any Windows crashes or stops the case (e.g. restart after an update...).    MS Office products can do it (by saving temporary files and allows you to recover if the program was not closed properly), a Web browser can do (keeping a story and using the session management)-why Windows can't do
?
In addition, if there is such list of open windows and files then it might be possible to keep also some history and ' files/windows' recently closed, similar to how Google Chrome can show recently closed tab.
The application that I'm developing (for my own personal use, although I would offer it to someone else) will be:
-keep a history and a current list of open files/windows, including a path for each file opened.
-Files/windows closed are removed from the list "now open" and moved to the list of "recently closed", which has a maximum length.
-file/window close operations should be associated with the user control. Otherwise, opens the files that are closed
by Windows when the judgment is no longer will be identified as open.
-an option would be to ensure, somehow, that this request is always closed during a regular shutdown process first.
-Another option is to simply assume that there is no problem, if Windows broke down, and that the user is reminded to close the application before you stop.
-Another option is to have the traceable list, a user can go back a few steps up a point until Windows began to close.
-Another option is to have the "last sitting" identified as, for example 2 minutes before closing, while keeping a list of items opened after that date.
-list "recently closed" items that are too old (have been pushed to the bottom of the list and beyond of the length limit are moved to history.
-l' history can be defined for a limited time or can be cleaned manually or automatically (periodically), or we can set a limit on the length for the history list.
* the application/batch/executable is located in the Windows startup folder and it:
-is launched at Windows startup
-after start (automatically or manually) will display a dialog box containing a list of the items that were open before windows stop - see Creating session above.
-user can deselect items in the list if he or she does not want to open them. "Uncheck the items of list moves to the ' recently closed" list or history.
-by identifying which items are not kept, or simply to keep everything, the user clicks on a single button and the application opens to all items that are always enabled.  To avoid slowing down the system, an option is available to open files, in which case a flow can be set.  Defining a priority list, it is also an idea.
If you think you have a good idea for this or want to work on it with me, please contact me at * address email is removed from the privacy *.
If you are able to do it yourself, let me know.

It all sounds very complicated for me, I wish you well in your efforts.

Here is what that will be helpful?

  • Multiple instances of firefox in the Manager of tasks but FF does not open

    -Windows XP SP3 (updated with all critical updates)
    -FireFox 25.0.1 (Note: originally, I had version 31, but there are a few days that has stopped working)
    -Norton Security Suite (version of comcast) up to date
    -J' have IE6 and Chrome 37 like browsers (Note: FF stopped working, IE8 had also ceased to operate-page would open, only one system process, but the page would never load)

    A ran the following tests:
    -SUPERAntiSpyware Free Edition
    -Malwarebytes Anti-Malware
    -Ad-Aware Antivirus
    -Spybot-S & D Start Center

    Found some non-critical infections still possible (nothing too crazy)
    Symptom persists as follows:
    -cool computer boot
    -Open task (no case of FF) Manager
    -Open firefox - process appears in Task Manager and it goes immediately to 50%
    (Nothing opens and nothing listed in the Applications)
    -Open a second instance of firefox - 2nd process appears in Task Manager
    (still nothing opens and no instance appears in the Applications
    (two instances continue to operate the CPU usage - a 15% and the other running at 35% - at a 50% YTD or both can be executed at 25% each)
    -opening a third instance of firefox
    (still nothing opens, and three bodies show in the Task Manager process and cumulatively race to 50% - example: 15 + 15 + 20 or 10 + 15 + 25)

    Troubleshooting:
    restored a picture disc from may 2014
    -Note: Dec 2013, I had made a complete NEW installation new Windows XP being drafted for EOL and installed all updates, including SP3, so that the image I have chosen to may was 5 months old, but I chose this one because of some other programs I had installed this month and didn't want to go through this again
    (- Note #2: I disk image, make a monthly PQI backup of my C: drive and my drive R :) I have two hard drives 300 G each, while C: drive is OS only and drive a: all my downloads, my documents, my pictures, etc.)

    -After the restored image, I tried to open FF and IE8, neither app was problematic. FF auto update version, I don't know, but it was on 31 when I realized that the problem was BACK. Had a few critical updates to WIN, and IE8 does too!

    uninstalled IE8 (restored to IE6, and now IE work - but obviously I can not live with IE6 - only necessary update!) uninstalled FF31 (and deleted all temp files and the profile of the account) and installed a copy of FF25 Neuve - while I immediately force autoupdater shut down and removed the update files, so I could stay on FF25.

    Now FF25 will only open on the second instance of the process (the first will always be 50% of the CPU, the second will open and run between 0 and 10 CPU and application in the Applications)
    -J' learned that I can kill the process by 50% using the the Task Manager or process explore and total CPU usage will be reduced down to 0% - 10%

    I can open a lot of tabs with no problems and I can right click on a link to open a new window and everything is good, BUT if I use the ICON on the desktop, quick launch ICON or the START > programs > icon, then the NEXT process will increase to 50% and no second window opens

    I've seen dozens of forums that have reported similar memory problems, but none has been resolved.

    Can you help me? I don't want to upgrade from IE6 to IE8 right now, but I won't use it for anything but stable until I can upgrade. Note: in addition to being very slow, I was move to Chrome, but I never liked Chrome... I use FF right now to ask for help.

    Any suggestions?

    I followed donaldmaloney suggestion and it works now. Here's how I did it:
    -uninstalled all instances of N360
    -restarted,
    -remove all the remaining files from the initial installation,
    -restarted again
    -reinstalled N360
    -a ran Live Update several times and restarted
    -repeated Live Update until no more updates to date are available

    And now I can open the IE and FF.
    Save yourself the time, stop working with Norton support staff, but BRAVO to them to understand their product to the root of the problem and they do not include a fix for the problem, but uninstall/reinstall was the only way to allow the difficulty of working. Great work!

    CTRL-Alt-Del does not bring upward the more after XP Task Manager - it brings up a different menu options:

    The options presented are also slightly configurable via Group Policy, if your system is equipped with:

    http://www.thewindowsclub.com/customize-ctrlaltdel-screen-Windows-7-Group-Policy

    You can kind of 'test' on your keyboard with a built in Screen-Keyboard Windows.

    All programs, accessories, ease of access, Screen-Keyboard.

    When you press a key on the keyboard, it should light up on the screen keyboard on (by pressing Ctrl):

    Of course, we don't know anything about your system (desktop, laptop, keyboard, PS/2, USB, wireless wired keyboard) so you may need to see if another keyboard works, another USB port, batteries, etc...

    Is it ALWAYS the case where the folder opened by "Save AS" is the file of the source code for the file that I am saving?

    I believe, with a reservation for the strange behaviour of the different OS versions: in the contrary case, the save option under would lead astray you.

    Okay, I think that I fixed it.  I went in the Sys Config, Start Up and unchecked "common SDK-Sonic Solutions/Roxio."  Also not controlled all the other stuff video I don't need at start-up. I then restarted it, of course.  It has been a few hours now and no window flashing.  Roxio is a nice program, but has been a problem on my computer. By auto-off starting this program, it seems to have solved the problem.

    How can I activate Technicon in adobe elements first 13? I can see it running in the Manager of tasks as elementsautoanalyzer13.exe but didn't interrupt the process in the case where he assigned to the program.  There must be a way inside the adobe program to turn off because I turned it on by clicking with the right button on an image in the editor of the first, and then when you are prompted, he said he would run in the background and I said okay, now I can't stop it! .  It appears in earlier versions of first items under Edit-> Preferences-> media analysis you could uncheck it to turn it off.  But there is only a media section and in this tab, there is no automatic Analyzer to be seen.  Thanks in advance for any advice

  • How we can get statistics current preferences for the t value specified

    How we can get statistics current value of preferences for the specified table?

    Of course, you can use the DBMS_STATS. Function GET_PREFS to check the attributes of statistics.
    For example, to collect statistics of large properly partitioned tables, you can change the INCREMENT value:

    For each, check that the current value of the table:

    SQL> select dbms_stats.get_prefs('INCREMENTAL','SH','COSTS') from dual;
    
    DBMS_STATS.GET_PREFS('INCREMENTAL','SH','COSTS')
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Change the value for the table in question:

    SQL> exec dbms_stats.set_table_prefs('SH','COSTS','INCREMENTAL' ,'TRUE') ;
    PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
    
    SQL> select dbms_stats.get_prefs('INCREMENTAL','SH','COSTS') from dual;

  • After the reinstallation of Vista (32 bit) I'm done with Windows and most of the stuff on the disk 1 (c), but with stuff on the disk 2 (d).

    original title: after reinstallation of Vista (32 bit), I found myself with Windows and most of the stuff on the disk 1 (c), but with stuff on the disk 2 (d). It's hard to backup.

    I wish all the disk 0, which is 250 GB, leaving the 1 free 500 GB disc to have been the repository of backup and archiving of others.  But I don't want to have to reinstall everything.  I couldn't move bootmgr, BOOTSECT. BAK and 'boot' folder on the disk 1 (c) by somehow the system partition?  Then there would be no OS stuff on disk 0 (D :); back, but better than mixed.)  What happens if I disconnect physically the smallest disk, Startup Repair will make the disc with Windows boot and system partitions? Thank you.

    Hi OldScientist,

    Before performing these steps, it is recommended to make a backup of your important data.

    Step 1: Mark Disk 1 (C) as active partition, then launch Startup Repair

    Follow the steps mentioned in the link below to mark C as active partition
