how to have last explorer window reopen upon reboot?

It seems this isn't rocket science but I cannot find what to check to have
explorer windows open at shutdown, reopen at boot. I'm using TweakUI and do
not see any settings to checkmark, don't see anything under
explorer/tools/folder options/view either!

Can anyone help?

TIA

Tools > Folder Options > View > Restore previous folder windows at logon
Sid, I looked for that option as I've seen it before on other OS's (e.g. XP)
but that option does not exist on this setup! Anyway t get it there?
REGISTRY edit? policy update?

Found the answer, thanks Sid. Because you posted the phrase I needed was
able to find a solution via google. It doesn't put an entry into the view
menu (which would be nice) but it works:

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