As we well know, when installing a program, an introductory notice always appears mentioning that 'it is recommended to close all other applications before continuing with the installation'; This of course in order to be successful and so that it is not necessary to restart the computer later. However, there are times when the programs that we have open (in execution) or the tasks that we are carrying out are of the utmost importance and we cannot close them, in that sense we ask ourselves, will there be any way to continue with the installation without having to close the other programs? The solution has a name: SmartClose.
SmartClose is a free app for windows, which is responsible for recording (capturing) all the programs / windows / processes / services that we have open, saving and closing them momentarily and then restoring them. This is quite useful for example for when we need to install new software, burn discs, defragment or scan drives.
How to use Smart Close? Simple, before performing any of the aforementioned tasks, installation for example, you just have to select the option 'Create a system snapshot and close all Programs', immediately the program will take care of saving all your running information and closing it momentarily, in a matter of seconds and once the process is finished, you will be able to carry out your installation without having to worry about having to restart the computer.
Now, in order to restore all the applications / windows that you had running (open), select the option 'Restore a previously taken system snapshot'instantly everything will run automatically as it was before installation. As simple as that.
SmartClose It is free, available in English and compatible with Windows in its versions 7 / Vista / XP / 2000, etc. Its installer file is a slight 687 KB in size. Quite useful, to take it into account friends 🙂
