I think it happens to everyone every now and then. We try to close an application and another one pops up in that moment and we accidentally close this one that we did not want to close at all. This meant that we had to open this program again while clenching our fists to trying not to cry out loud about this goddamn incident.
The world is unfair we all know that but there is hope. Gone in 60 seconds is a sweat little program that prevents that programs are closed accidentally. This is done by not closing them directly but by delaying the shutdown for 60 seconds in which the shutdown can be stopped and the program recovered.
The applications disappear and are accessible from the lightning icon in the system tray which belongs to the Gone in 60 seconds application. The application will appear in the state that you accidentally closed it in which means that the data that you might have entered is still there and not lost.
A whitelist lets you close certain applications directly. Gone in 60s is a lightweight application from Donation Coder . Those guys rock, check them out !

Huh. Pretty cool little blurb about it. Thankfully I’m pretty deliberate on what I close and what I keep open, but good to know none the less.
Been using this myself for some time now, very handy tool thats got me out of a few jams.
Now that’s a great little find! I have a very busy desktop with a ton of windows open and often find myself cursing when I misclick and zap the wrong thing by a few pixels.
