Hi,
I want to save unused applications which is in idle state(say 30 mins) in Windows Forms application.
From this, how can I save other application(process) using process. I used keystrokes. But its not working when application is minimized. So I tried to bring the application to front as ForeGroundWindow, using ShowWindow() and SetForeGroundWindow(). But Some site says, It'll work only on WinXP., Me & my client using Windows 7. How could I acheive this.? Any help would be appreciated as I don't have any knowledge on this.

Thanks,
N.M.Thyagarajan

SetForeGroundWindow() works on Windows 8 too

Why doing all that? "I want" is not enough.

You could save application state and then on start check the saved state and reinstate it starting new processes along the way as needed.

Also, what have you tried to acoomplish this?
