# Installation
- Download the latest PersistentWindows*.zip file from https://github.com/kangyu-california/PersistentWindows/releases
- Unzip the file into any directory
- Optionally create a shortcut to PersistentWindows.exe in C:\Users\\<your_user_id>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup to automatically start the program when computer powers up.
- It is highly recommended to create a task in Task Scheduler to automatically start PersistentWindows triggered by user log on.
- Alternatively for users who prefer to auto start PersistentWindows using startup menu, this can be achieved by creating a shortcut to PersistentWindows.exe in C:\Users\\<your_user_id>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup. But this method of auto start may not work as expected for slow computers (see issue #34), it is recommended to delay start by specifying -delay_start \<seconds\> on the command line, 30 seconds seems to be a safe bet.
# Use instructions
- Run PersistentWindows.exe as normal user, a splash window will pop up, indicating the program has started successfully. To disable the splash window, run PersistentWindows.exe -splash_off, or specify the command option in the shortcut or .bat wrapper of PersistentWindows.exe

- Some applications (such as Task Manager, Event Viewer etc) require running PersistentWindows with admin privilege to fully recover window layout. There is an option to "Run with highest priviledges" when you create auto start PersistentWindows task in Task Scheduler.
- Starting from release 4.26, there is an experimental feature to automatically restore window z-order in addition to two-dementional layout. This feature is disabled by default. To turn on this feature, run PersistentWindows.exe -fix_zorder
- To help me diagnose a bug, please run Event Viewer, locate to "Windows Logs" -> "Application" section, then search for Event ID 9990 and 9999, and copy paste the content of these events to new issue report.
