Key notes
Resumingbrowsing from the last session is extremely useful and time-saving. Most popular browsers have a restore or history button to help you, although the initial session still opens in a new page.
This tutorial, on the other hand, is helpful to forceInternet Explorerto start from the last session.
This should restrict all users on the same PC, so that they can’t change the settings on their own, and start Internet Explorer from the previous session.
How do I restore the last IE session?
1. Use Group Policy
2. Use the Registry
3. Use Internet Properties
