Development of the free application Putty Connection Manager that can display more than one Putty sessions stopped in 2009, and it sometimes triggers this error when I double-click on any host in the right hand-side list:
PuTTY Connection Manager/An unexpected error occured :
Object reference not set to an instance of an object..
When that happens, I have to reboot :-/
Does someone know of an alternative?

SuperPuTTY works great and I've moved over to it. Also check out KiTTY, an 'improved' PuTTY:

Thanks for the tip. Apparently, unlike Putty Connection Manager, SuperPutty requires creating new items in its Putty Sessions list, but it's easy enough. – OverTheRainbow – 2011-03-10T23:43:40.283
Yes, you have to redo all your connections, but new ones appear immediately in the list. – Linker3000 – 2011-03-10T23:51:54.083
2I guess SuperPutty is based on Putty Connection Manager, and suffers from the same issues (ALT-TABbing to it doesn't work very well, and CTRL-TAB doesn't work to move around open windows within SuperPutty). – OverTheRainbow – 2011-05-02T08:55:13.307
1Superputty doesn't save username/pass or have login macros :( – Joe Coder – 2012-04-20T10:33:42.753
Just a few updates, SuperPutty (as of 1.3.0.11) now incorporates fixes for some of the above issues. Note that I'm testing with KiTTY, but Alt-Tab now lets you resume typing in the PuTTY window, and Ctrl-Tab changes tabs left-to-right. As for username/pass, I've found a better solution is public/private keys with Pageant. Login macros are missing, although you can supply a script file to run in PuTTY via -m path/to/file. – brymck – 2013-06-26T06:40:06.463
About this error, you just need to tick the options : "Show tray icon when minimized" and you won't see this error anymore. – William Remacle – 2011-04-28T07:52:29.963
