How to Quickly Open Recently Closed Folders and Programs in Windows

Written by Amit Banerjee on 14 Nov, 2009 Under Software

Suppose you are working on a PowerPoint presentation or a word document and closed the program.You are unaware of the file location and want to quickly open the file for editing.

One of the way is to look in “My recent documents” from the start menu. But what if you want to open the recently closed folder or another software that was running recently ? In that case Reopen can be useful

Just unzip the package anywhere in your computer and start the app. Middle click on an empty area of the desktop and you are presented with a list of recently closed folders, programs and files. (also see : Launch windows programs with keystrokes )

open-recently-closed-programs

Double clicking the folder or the program opens it immediately. The last closed program can also be opened with a hotkey of your choice (default is Shift + pause).The application is a portable-ware and does not require any installation.
