How to save my scripts automatically after closing pl sql developer

When every morning I have to switch off my PC, I've learnt that killing the process of PL SQL Developer by means of Task Manager of Windows, the following day in which I start PL SQL Developer, it asks to me whether I want to use the last session and so I get Pl SQL Developer to obtain the same scripts in SQL Windows I had closed the evening before. Is there a smarter way for causing PL SQL Developer to save all my scripts whitout "killing" it every evening? I suppose there's a parameter to set up for that, isn't there?
Thanks
 
Under Preferences-Options check 'Autosave desktop'. That way PL/SQL Developer will restore all the files you saved on the next start.
 
That wasn't exactly what I meant. I'd like PL SQL Developer to save automatically all the scripts even if non saved so as to restore them when I'll start again PL SQL Developer as it happens when I "kill" PL SQL Developer by means of Task Manager of Windows.
 
You can use the desktop= parameter. For example:

"C:\Program Files\PLSQL Developer\plsqldev.exe" desktop=dev1

The desktop configuration will be saved under that name, and restored when you start PL/SQL Developer again with the same parameter.

You can have different desktops by using different shortcuts with different desktop= parameters.

I just can't believe I missed this for so many years!

Sorry for reviving this topic, but it might be useful for someone else.
