title: Can I save my window layout in Netbeans 7.2?
body: <p>As tabs tend to open inside wrong windows after some time, it would be helpful to store a preset layout in order to go back if things get messed up. </p>
  
  <p>For example, if I am positioned in a <em>run tab</em> in the <strong>Output pane</strong> and open up a source file by double clicking in the project browser, the source file opens up in the tab in the <strong>Output pane</strong> instead of the main <strong>Editor window</strong></p>

  <p>In menu <code>Window</code>, there is the option to <code>Reset Windows</code>, which fixes this bug. But then all my window customizations are lost. </p>
  
  <p>So - I haven't figured out how to store my current window configuration. A rather nifty solution (e.g. backing up xml files) is acceptable. </p>
