Have you ever closed a program or a folder window and wished that you had a quick and easy way to reopen it with a keyboard shortcut or even a simple user-interface? Have you ever said the following to yourself? "I wish Windows could be like my browser and allow me to reopen folder windows and programs with a keyboard shortcut or just through the user-interface somewhere". If so, then your wish just came true!
My friends and fellow OCN members, with great pleasure I proudly present to you a great new program called Oopsie!, a simple program that enables you to do exactly what I just described! Here's a screenshot:

Latest release: 5-4-2014
Release notes and history: http://apps.scidoner.com/tracker/browse/OOP
(Post a reply if you install it! It's very fun for me to know when someone installs it)
Oopsie! works in the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 (sorry, XP and Linux will not be supported).
Bugs:
If you encounter any more bugs, then please report them to tompsonn. Provide as much information as you possibly can, including any screenshots that might help. Also tell him exactly which operating system you're using. The more he knows, the easier it will be to fix the problem for the next version.
So as you might have just guessed, Oopsie! has been created beautifully and masterfully by our very own tompsonn! So, what's my role in all of this? Well, I'm basically the founder. All I did (essentially) was make a thread asking if something like this could be created! Well, there's a little more to it than that. lol Please allow me to explain:
My role:
So, as I said, I made a thread that basically asked if something like this could be created, but there's more to it than that. You see, you are looking at that thread right now. What happened was, I was using a very similar (but significantly inferior) program called UndoClose which I stumbled upon like maybe 3 weeks ago from the time of this writing (4-17-2014). Up until about a week before the creation date of this thread (4-9-2014), I was very happy with it! Then, I began using the 90-Day Windows 8.1 Enterprise Evaluation. To my great disappointment, my new favorite little program doesn't work in Windows 8 or 8.1. I just sat there going, "Oh great. So, if I were to buy Windows 8.1, then I'd have to say good-bye to UndoClose. Sigh. Crap. Now what? Keep evaluating Windows 8.1, or give up and just stay with Windows 7?" Yes, UndoClose was that important to me.
Then, a few days into the evaluation of that Enterprise Evaluation (maybe a week into it), I created this thread to ask if someone could possibly make a program like UndoClose for Windows 8.1. Here's that original post:

After he finished creating the first test version, he requested that 5 people volunteer to test it. This was at roughly 3 or 4 am Central Time which is an extremely slow time for OCN. Well, to my pleasant surprise, the first 4 tester slots filled up in less than an hour!! The 5th slot filled up not more than an hour later after that! Immediately, tompsonn opened up 2 more tester slots and those filled up within 12 hours (hey, timing is everything on here). I am extremely grateful to all 7 testers and of course to tompsonn for doing all of this hard work to make this program as awesome as it is so far!
Now, with the help of these 7 testers (8 if you include me, which tompsonn gracefully automatically included from the start without taking up a slot!), we have successfully finished testing the 2nd test version and we are now on to the public release! I cannot tell you how happy this makes me. I'm very excited about this program!
So, I hereby give credit and thanks where credit and thanks are due. First, I thank Kishan Bagaria for creating UndoClose. Without UndoClose, I never would have wanted something like Oopsie! to be created. I found UndoClose while trying to answer this thread:
http://www.overclock.net/t/1475651/reboot-with-all-of-my-applications-open-the-same-way
So, I also thank Mrzev for asking! lol
Second, I thank tompsonn for being a wonderful and beautiful and GENEROUS human being for taking the time to create Oopsie! from the ground up. Yeah, that's right: this was made "FROM SCRATCH". Without him, none of this could have become a reality! It also wouldn't be as awesome as it is. Yeah, I feel that this program is quite awesome.
Third, and equally as important as tompsonn and Kishan Bagaria, I sincerely thank the 7 OCN members who graciously volunteered to be testers! These generous people are:
@WaLshy11
@vtech1
@XAslanX
@fragamemnon
@davcc22
@levontraut
@ABD EL HAMEED
I do not know if it would be appropriate to actually send a thank-you to Kishan Bagaria, nor do I know if Mrzev would feel that he deserves any kind of credit, but I do want to make sure at the very least that everyone knows where and how this all started.
Thank you!
Remember, I'm not a developer or a programmer; tompsonn is.

Little did I know that my good OCN friend tompsonn would see this and almost immediately take this challenge head-on and do an extremely masterful job at creating a completely new and very improved version of this program. We went through two test versions until we arrived at the original that you can download today (here's a link for your convenience).
After he finished creating the first test version, he requested that 5 people volunteer to test it. This was at roughly 3 or 4 am Central Time which is an extremely slow time for OCN.

LOL Sorry, but that's just funny. Besides, this is a neat opportunity for you to fix it and learn something new.
