Question
I have several monitors connected to my computer. I'm looking for an application that would be able to
Save the location of all visible windows (let's call it a layout)
Permit restoration of a saved layout
Be able to save several layouts (e.g. in my case I would like to have a specific layout when I code in MATLAB, a specific layout when I do some server administration, etc.): when I restore a layout I'd like to be able to choose which layout I want, if possible with a configurable keyboard shortcut
Work on Windows 7
Free is preferred
As fast as possible when saving or restoring a layout
As bug-free as possible (no side-effect, identical restoration, etc.)
Explanation / Answer
TaskLayout is a small portable Windows utility which allows to save/restore the desktop layout(a set of specified apps/windows with corresponding position on screen) in a single click.
This liteware works in Windows XP and newer OSes. In free mode TaskLayout allows restoring only for layouts created in runtime: you can save/use layouts until application quit. Registered mode allows user to use preconfigured layouts/recent history after application restart.
This Demo describes how TaskLayout works.
