I absolutely despise this trend of having software open stuff up automatically as if it's somehow helping. OS X is the biggest offender, for example; when Photoshop decides to just freak out opening a file, so you close photoshop, then reopen and it tries to reopen all your old files, including the one that's causing the problems. What sort of sadist wants 10 PSDs to open all at once?
I miss the good old days when you could reboot your machine and everything was fresh and pristine and yours to mess up.
