Windows will reset all opened windows every time you restart your computer. But some times, I am tired if I have to open my data folder every time Windows restarted. The good news is you can to make Windows save your last opened folder so that the folder will open automatically every time you restart Windows XP.

And here is the way:

1. Open Registry Editor first by click Start -> Run menu, enter regedit in box and then press Enter key.

2. Navigates to this registry path: HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Explorer \ Advanced.

3. Find PersisBrowser value on right panel.

4. PersistBrowser value has standard value 0, to force Windows save your opened window, modify its value to 1 by double click it, and replace the original value with 1.

5. Close Registry Editor, and then restart your computer.

6. After Windows is boot-up, you’ll look your last opened window is opening by Windows now.

To make it back to original setting, just modify PersistBrowsers data to 0.
