This is one of the most amusing aspects of XP... and even more amusing how =
MS=20
will dupe us into using this inane feature.  Please review how this feature=
=20
works, and what users tend to do when this happens:

Senario a)
	User A logs in... opens apps and "closes" their session.
	*Note everything is all running still, but they dont know that
	User B login in and starts even more apps then "closes" their session...

	At this point the system is plesantly loaded and starts to slow down=20
noticeably.

Senario b) (yes, i actualy got this call from a user)
	User A logs in, starts to work on a report... its lunch so he ducks out
	User B comes along and wants to check his email... for some reason
	his email wont work (probibly because the other accont had AOL open at
	the time)   so they do the magic reboot... =20

	Result... User A loses his unsaved changes... luckly autosave hid a copy f=
or
	him so we where able to find it.

In short this is a dangerious feature that users will abuse and use to brea=
k=20
their KDE in new and entertaining ways.  Lets refrain from copying every=20
feature our great MS tells us to implement and maby come up with our own,=20
better way of doing things.

Just my 2c from  the feild...

A large number of installed systems work by fiat.  That is, they work
by being declared to work.
