Restoring Windows from the Last Session

[Guest W. Watson]

If I logoff or re-start with several windows on display, then return there

are no windows on the display. However, in one PC with W2K that I have, they

do return under the same circumstances. What's the mechanism for making this

happen in either OS?

Control panel, Folder Options, View, Restore previous folder windows at

logon.

That's a "hibernate" function in XP. You have to put the computer

into hibernate to be able to restore open sessions.

Well, this wasn't quite what I wanted. It restores open folders, but not

windows.

I think the computer that restores open windows is hibernating when

you think it is off.

If you are talking about Restoring programs and opening files, you may

use "Standby" or "Hibernate". A system restart doesn't keep that info,

and programs will not be restarted.

My W2K is a desktop. I don't think it knows about standby or hibernate.

Maybe the windows restore property is unique to W2K? I'll try it on that PC

again to see if my memory is correct.

Maybe you should think about the question you are asking, and rephrase it.

Your last statement didn't make much sense.

 

When Windows explorer is open, these are called "Windows", and so, I expect

is any progam running with a desktop interface.

 

Are you saying you want your running *programs* to be restored as they were

when you "turned off" the computer.

(for example a running instance of Word, or Internet Explorer)

 

Most pcs can be configured so that when you hit the on off switch your pc

will go into standby mode rather than shutdown.
