If you are frequently using the same folders and you often shutdown or restart your computer, you will find it very handy to have the folders you left open before shutting down/restarting wait for you on the taskbar, when you boot again.

To enable this option, go to Folder Options in Control Panel and open the View tab. Alternatively, you can open the same tab if in a Windows Explorer window you select the Tools menu. When the View tab is open (as shown in this screenshot – screenshot), put a tick in the Restore Previous Folder Windows at Logon check box and click Apply.
