Ever been working on something and Windows keeps urging you to reboot? \t\tWindows XP doesn’t give you a lot of choices. You can either not reboot \t\tand put up with annoying reminders, or you can reboot and get it over \t\twith. Windows Vista and Windows 7 are a bit better. You can postpone \t\tyour reboot for several hours or more – but sooner or later you’ll have \t\tto reboot. Right?<\/p>\n
Sometimes though, it’s just easier to save your work and let Windows do \t\twhat it wants to do. At least it won’t bother you for awhile if you just \t\tgive in and say -“OK Windows, boot if you want. I’m so sick of your \t\treminders!”<\/p>\n
After you’ve saved all your work, you might have other things you were \t\tgoing to do, things you were working on, that you’d like to get back to \t\tonce Windows has done it’s thing. If you’re anything like us, if we walk \t\taway for 10 minutes, we’ll forget what the heck we were doing. And by \t\tthe time we remember it’s too late to get started.<\/p>\n
It \t\twould be nice if Windows was kind enough to reopen the programs that we \t\twere using when it reboots.\u00a0 And yes, it’s important to install Windows Updates \t\tand it’s important to reboot after Windows updates — if a reboot is \t\trequired for the update to be installed. But still, it’s an aggravation \t\tto have to remember what the heck we were doing when we rebooted Windows \t\tin the middle of a work session.<\/p>\n
Enter, Cache My Work. A little program that will remember what you \t\tcan’t. It will remember all the programs you had open when you rebooted \t\tyour computer for whatever reason – or when you walked away from your \t\tcomputer and Windows rebooted itself. Cache My Work presents you with \t\tchecklist of programs that you were running when you rebooted and lets \t\tyou choose which programs you want to reopen. It will also let you \t\trestore any Explorer windows you had open too.<\/p>\n
We’ll let the author tell more about Cache My Work, since he knows it \t\tbetter that anyone:<\/p>\n
“Cache My Work is a handy utility that \t\tenables you to reboot Windows without losing your place in your work. It \t\tbuilds a checklist of currently open applications, and will restart the \t\tapps you’ve selected the next time you logon to the computer. Cache My \t\tWork is great for occasions when you need to unexpectedly reboot, such \t\tas on “Patch Tuesday”, after installing new drivers, or when Windows \t\truns out of Desktop Heap, Handles or GDI Objects…<\/p>\n
If you’re like me, you avoid rebooting your computer because it means \t\tyou’ll forget what you were working on. Every time I have to reboot \t\tbecause of some install\/uninstall\/patch, invariably I forget half of \t\twhat I was working on because I don’t remember all the docs and apps I \t\thave to reopen (those 5-15 minutes between “shutdown all apps” and \t\t“logged in, Windows quieted down” are huge opportunities for me to be \t\trandomized and lose my short-term memory cache).”<\/p>\n
This is a great little tool that will come \t\tin handy often. Cache My Work \t\tis available free from this location<\/a>.<\/p>\n Cache My Work<\/a> is a 428KB \t\tdownload.
