How To ReBoot Win7 + Re-Open All Of My Active Progs & Files?

Post by pctdoug »

Normally I have 7 or 8 core programs running on my computer and multiple open documents at any given time. When my system starts bogging down and running slow, I find the best thing to do is to simply re-boot... but it's a pain to manually save everything, shutdown and then re-open my stuff again.

So my question is... can I set up RoboTask to do this for me?

And will RoboTask be able to "remember" which docs, files and web pages I had open at the time of the re-boot, so they can be restored when my system comes back up again?

Thanks,
Doug

In order to reboot computer use the action Log Off with Restart Computer option

In order to start some programs automatically when you log in again you can write command lines into registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Runonce
use Write Value action for this purpose.
use HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Runonce as key name

System will run these command lines at next startup only once and remove all values in this key automatically.

But I'm afraid that RoboTask can't detect all your applications with correct command-line parameters. You should specify all command lines manually.
the task will be such:

Write value cmd1 = myprogram.exe parameter1 parameter2
Write value cmd2 = http://www.mysite.com/mypage?param1=111&param2=222
.......
Log Off (restart computer)
