Reopen accidentally closed programs with GoneIn60s
by Brad Linder Dec 7th 2007
We can't count the number of times we've accidentally closed a web browser, word processor, or other application without saving our data first. Unfortunately, Windows doesn't have an undo key. But thanks to GoneIn60s, you can add a slowdo button. (Yes, we're going to trademark slowdo, you can't have it).What GoneIn60s does is delay the shutdown of your applications. When you hit the close button, the application is hidden, but it won't actually close for another 60 seconds. You can adjust that time, but then the name of the program looks all silly.
So say you close your web browser when you had meant to close Outlook. You now have 60 seconds to look for the lightning arrow icon in your taskbar, right-click it, and select your closed browser session. It will pop right back up.
If there are some programs that you'd prefer to shut down immediately, you can create a whitelist of apps to close every time. GoneIn60s is tiny at just 205KB, and it's free to boot.

They key to getting good at Graveyard Shift is learning to use ...
