Abstract
Methods, computer systems, software and computer readable media containing the software for bookmarking, or saving, multiple profiles associated with a user of a computer system, and for activating saved user profiles. At a top operating system level, a bookmarked user profile indicates the arrangement of the user's display devices available, including the type, position and size of open windows, as well as other of the user's preference parameters. At lower application levels, a bookmarked user profile indicates the arrangement of an application window, as well as other application preference parameters. A bookmark, or a bookmarked user profile, is activated by selection from a menu that can be displayed in the top level operating system desktop or within an application window. Commands are also provided for creating and managing bookmarks associated with a user.
