LastExecRecord, developed by Kazushi Kamegawa, is a lightweight Windows launcher designed to reduce repetitive navigation by instantly reopening the last executable a user has started. Categorized under System Utilities, the application sits in the background, silently logging every program launch; pressing its configurable hot-key immediately re-invokes the most recently run file, while successive presses cycle backward through a three-entry history buffer. This minimal, portable tool requires no installation, stores its 0.4.1 binaries and settings in a single directory, and consumes negligible RAM, making it suitable for developers who repeatedly recompile the same project, testers switching between a game client and its debugger, or office workers who alternate between two business applications throughout the day. Since its initial release the program has evolved through three public versions, each refining the hook mechanism that watches process creation events without requiring administrative rights on Windows 10 and 11. The 0.4.1 build adds optional command-line switches that let advanced users whitelist or blacklist specific folders, preventing accidental relaunch of installers or background updaters. LastExecRecord writes no registry keys and keeps its tiny history file in the same folder as the executable, so the entire package can be carried on a USB stick and used on any PC without leaving traces. Although intentionally narrow in scope, the utility integrates cleanly with the Windows shell, respects focus rules, and can be auto-started through a checkbox in its minimalist system-tray menu. LastExecRecord is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources (e.g. winget), always delivering the latest version, and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
