slightly OT - Pausing/resuming applications?
Posted: 20. Aug 2009, 06:06
I know this is not a strictly VB related question (actually it could be, somehow, relating to the allocation of CPU time), but I thought that maybe some VB users could have an answer.
Do you know whether it is possible, for example in a WinXP system, to pause and resume an application (OpenOffice, Firefox, Word or any other) just as a VM can be paused and resumed with VBox?
I find that feature so useful (pausing a VM which is CPU consuming, doing something else and then resuming) that I think it would be extremely handy to have it available for any application.
