Discussion:
Can we save the state of IE7 so we can reopen it later?

Hi,

I often have an instance of IE7 with several tabs that have obtained during,
let's say, an afternoon.

I hate to have to close this, because opening it and getting all the tabs
open again in the right place is something I don't know how to do.

Is there a way?

Juan,

This is not a question related to wininet technology. However, I can give
you a hint for this problem. There might be some 3rd party products that
implemented add-on for IE that allows you to store opened tabs and then
restore them. If you would not find such add-ons then you can implement this
functionality by writing BHO for IE that will use explorer's object model to
retrieve list of opened tabs. Basically, you should obtain list of tabs
(their URLs) and have ability to store them into some file (the format of
the data in a file you should of couse ogranize yourself). BHO should read
then that file and restore the tabs.

I hope my hint will help you.
