Saving in the background?

Here's what I really want: I'd like for changes to to be saved automatically. The major thing is that it doesn't ask you to save changes before you close. After a crash or opening the program, the previous state is restored.

Is this possible? I assume you can save in the background but do you do it at every transaction? How do you implement such a thing? Do you use threads? Or is it quicker just to save without threads? I've never implemented a thread.

Save what? Configuration settings?

Any change to the document or any configuration setting such as a window placement. Anything and everything, so that no matter what, things come up the way they were before.

You will need a timer for this.
You can decide to save the information periodically.
