Windows XP and Explorer

Remember Windows Open Between User Sessions

SUMMARY: Have Windows XP re-open folders you were viewing in a previous session.

Tired of logging off your Windows XP computer with a bunch of useful windows open to various folders, then when you re-login to the system, all of the windows have disappeared?

Many people prefer to start their Windows XP session with a clean slate, which is why this is the default behavior in Explorer. However, if you'd rather it remember your open windows and reopen them when you re-login, do the following:

1. Open any folder in Explorer.

2. Choose "Tools" then "Folder Options".

3. When the multi-tabbed dialog box appears, select the "View" tab.

4. Check "Restore previous folder windows at logon".

5. Click "OK" to close the dialog box.
