Application Manager restarts crashed Windows apps

Application Manager
Application Manager is a tiny Windows utility that monitors your running processes and compares it with a user-configured list of applications. If Application Manager notices that one of the apps you specify is not running, it will relaunch that program. In other words, it will restart any program that crashes.

Say you want to make sure that your instant messenger or desktop Twitter application is always running so you don't miss any important messages.
