Leave Window open on Reboot
Normally XP shuts down all windows on a reboot but this hack will leave any window you were working on open when windows loads again.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanc ed]
"PersistBrowsers"=dword:00000001

To undo this hack use the entry below

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanc ed]
"PersistBrowsers"=dword:00000000
