automatically re-opening folders in Win2k w/ IE 6?

[kec]

I was previously using W2K w/ IE 5.5.

When windows is shut down and restarted, my open folders on the
desktop are automatically reopened when I log into windows.

e.g.
Let's say I shut down Windows with 2 folders open, say control panel
and windows explorer (say at C:\my music), these folders are
automatically re-opened the next time I log into windows.

After upgrading to IE 6, windows does not save such settings. When I
re-log into windows, I'd get a clean desktop.

Is there a way to have windows automatically re-open my last open
folders? Can this be done with IE 6?

Thanks.

Create and set the Reg_Dword value
"PersistBrowsers"=1
located at
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced
