###Description This is a script that can save the location and size of all of your windows and then restore those windows to their correct positions at a later time.

###Features

• Specifically designed to work with Windows10 Virtual Desktops
  • Assigns a desktop to each window
  • Restores to the appropriate desktop
• Works well with multiple monitors
• Can save multiple layouts depending on monitor setup
  • If you switch between a single monitor and a dual screen setup, you can save a layout with each monitor setup
  • Restores the correct layout depending on number of monitors connected
• Saves weather a window is maximized or minimized
• Call from any ahk script

###Uses I use this script when I need to do a windows update or need to restart my computer for any reason. I can simply save my layout before shutdown and then when I have rebooted, I can re open all the programs I had running and hit a hotkey and have it all back the way it was before. I also have a laptop which I may or may not have connected to a secondary monitor. I can save a layout, with and without my second monitor and every time I switch I can hit a hotkey and have all my windows arranged the way I like.

###Installation Simple Install
Download WindowSaver.exe
The exe must be run with one of the two following paramaters

• snap
  • Takes a snapshot of your current layout and saves the details to WinPos.txt
• restore
  • Figures out which saved layout it should restore
  • Restores all windows to their appropriate places

Example:
"C:\path\to\exe\WindowSaver.exe snap"
"C:\path\to\exe\WindowSaver.exe restore"

Install With Source
Downlad the source .ahk files.
Use the same method as above but by calling your local AutoHotkey.exe

Example:
"C:\path\to\AutoHotkey.exe C:\path\to\WindowSaver.ahk snap"
"C:\path\to\AutoHotkey.exe C:\path\to\WindowSaver.ahk restore"

Set Up Hotkey
You can set up a hotkey using the following

key:: Run "C:\path\to\WindowSaver.exe" snap
key:: Run "C:\path\to\WindowSaver.exe" restore

or

key:: Run "C:\path\to\AutoHotkey.exe" "C:\path\to\WindowSaver.ahk" snap
