I keep a lot of processes open in Windows XP at a time. When I reboot, I lose track of what I was working on. The entity that is "I" is getting old and outdated but upgrade is not feasable at this point. It was created in 1940. I seem to recall that at one time when I rebooted the system would bring up the applications that were active at shutdown. Is this do-able with XP?
