IE6 and Win98 problem with windows explorer

[Andrew]

Hi,
I've just upgraded to IE6 on my Win98 machine. The problem that is
occurring is that any explorer windows that are open when the machine is
shutdown do not re-appear when the PC starts up again. They used to
re-appear before IE6 was installed.
I thought that there was an option for this in Tools/Options but its not
there.

Any ideas about restoring this functionality?

IE6 fix window settings
Make up a file from the lines below. Copy into a file called fix.reg
which should be created in Notepad. Do not retype, copy in case of
errors. The 1st line in the file is the line REGEDIT4
Make sure your mail or news reader does not add any spaces to the end
of a line.
The last line must be blank.
Doubleclick fix.reg

-----copy below this line fix.reg------------
REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced]
"PersistBrowsers"=dword:00000001
//This is to fix the problem in some IE6 installations where
// windows explorer does not remember opened windows at startup
//This value does not seem to appear pre-IE6

---- end file above here
