Hi Doc, I myself am not an expert but i think you should switch to mozilla fiirefox 2 and it has that function that if you reboot or the computer shuts down accidentally or you do it intentionally, that web page or pages / web session or sessions could be restored on your reboot and you will get the message in shape of pop up at the screen. But if you were logged with hotmail or any forum that requiring password, you might need to sign in again to go get to the main page but as far as that "current page" is concerned, you are safe. I am a huge fan of mozilla firefox as it is way faster than IE 6 0r 7 and you can tweak it up as well as per your needs and requirements. You may, if you want to try, download mozilla firefox and check it out. Regards
