Do you want XP to "remember" the folder windows that you had open when you logged off, and open them up again automatically when you log back on? By default, XP doesn't do this, but you can change that easily:

1. Right click the Start button and click Explore.
   
2. On the Tools menu, select Folder Options.
   
3. Click the View tab.
   
4. Under Advanced Settings, scroll down and check the box labeled "Restore previous folder windows at logon."
   

Now XP will reopen any windows you had open when you logged off.
