I'm getting an odd problem in Windows XP. Say I have windows explorer open and notepad. If I leave them open, then restart, both of those applications immediately launch when XP boots back up. The windows explorer is even exploring the same folder as it was previously. It looks like somehow Windows is saving my session before restarting, then restoring it once XP boots back up.

The problem started happening after I was messing with my network subnet. I don't see how network settings can affect a local problem like that though. I restored the subnet to how it originally was, and it still occurs.

How do I disable this? Thanks in advance.
