I always select the one Tom mentioned. I find it very helpful. However,
if I've closed all the windows when I exit I have it set up to open certain

I had a similar problem with my computer and it turned out to be one of my
usb ports and/or my card reader. These are the kinds of things you don't

It would be wonderful if these discs were permanent places to save things
