Reopen all the windows after shutdown There was once a feature that reopened all the windows on startup. Is it possible to enable that somehow, even the checkbox "Reopen all windows ..." disappeared.

Did this happen because of an update ? I it possible to revert back to an older version ?

Mac OS version 10.6.8
The Feature is still there.

I do not have 10.6.8 (I have the 10.8.4) and it shows this.



If you do not see it, but had it before then check the 
Library/Saved Application State folder to see what files are in it. 

I would suggest to run the cmd and R and run the repairs from there.
