Top Tip! Save and Retrieve Internet Explorer Sessions with IESessions
Suppose you are working on the Internet, finding information about some project and you are interrupted for some other work. If you have a lot of tabs open, then you have to save them all in favorites or you can save them in another file. Such things are not very efficient and your Favorites will also contain a lot of entries of something that you might not need later. IESessions is a free Internet Explorer extension which allows you to save your IE sessions quickly. You can them reopen it later and resume from where you were or you can also export it.
To use it, simple click on the IESessions icon and give your session a name. All the websites that are currently open are saved. It doesn’t store any cookies or login info. You can also export your sessions and take them with you. This way, you can work on any computer and import your sessions on it. So you can resume your work on any other Computer. You can also store your sessions on Amazon S3 but it is a paid service.
This is a nice tool and adds some functionality to Internet Explorer that is not there. It works with IE6 and IE7 and IE8.

Awesome App. Is there something similar available for Firefox? I’m sure there is though, as FireFox is the king of add-ons, plugins and extensions.
Great find madhur. It is similar to other browser which comes with restore last open tabs when closed last time.
Thanks again.

Great addon, just like session manager in Firefox.
However it does not work with IE8!!! When trying to save a session an error message comes up.
Please de-bug – I want to use this software. Great stuff – thanks in anticipation
There is another add-on available called IE Session Manager, available at http://www.electricbrainproductions.com/ie-session-manager and it works in both IE7 and IE8. One thing I don’t like about IESessions is that it doesn’t preserve the instances – when IESessions loads a session set every URL is opened in a single instance (if one originally had saved the URLs from five instances, when loaded back up the URLs are all crammed into one instance).
Also, IE Session Manager allows you to pick and choose which URLs are saved and which ones are loaded, where as with IESessions it’s all or nothing.
