Windows 8 Utility to save Desktop Workspace and relaunch it after a computer crash

I don't know if this works for 8 but it says it does for 7... you can certainly give it a try:

Thanks! This utility saves the items and placement of icons on the desktop. It doesn't save the workspace and arrangements of active windows that are open. There dimensions and the monitors they are displayed upon.

Also, I have a Display monitor utility that takes care of desktop icons so I can restore them to previous arrangements.

What I am looking for is a more robust desktop manager. When I launch it it will restore the layout of the windows on specific monitors and remember the files that were open and the websites being viewed. Etc..

There are a few more recent options here:

Okay, that is looking more like what I need. Virtual desktops are perhaps the solution. I want to be able to click one shortcut and have my multimonitor desktop filled with open windows for the larger project I am working on.

My own solution to the problem.
