To access Settings, click the system tray icon. If the pre-defined hotkeys come in conflict with other global hotkeys, you can change them from Settings. It then helps you restore them using the hotkeys. UndoClose sits in the system tray after being launched and silently starts monitoring all folders and applications that are closed. The hotkeys can be used multiple times. For example, if you close VLC Player, Notepad and iTunes, press Ctrl+Shift+A hotkey three times to launch VLC Player, Notepad and iTunes again. UndoClose supports two hotkey combinations Ctrl+Shift+F and Ctrl+Shift+A, to open last closed folder (in Windows Explorer ) and application, respectively.

In short, it enables you to open the last closed folder(s) and application(s) just like the way Firefox, Google Chrome and other browsers let you open the recently closed tab(s). Today, AddictiveTips brings you UndoClose – a free program that remembers all recently closed folders and applications, so that you can restore them in the same sequence in which they were closed using two hotkeys. In contrast to browsers, Windows 7 manages folders and application windows differently despite storing recently opened programs and items in Start Menu, it doesn’t support bringing them up again using a hotkey. It certainly saves the time one would’ve spent sifting through browsing history to find and open closed tabs. One of the most useful tab-management features of modern browsers is opening recently closed tabs using the Ctrl+Shift+T hotkey.
