It is A solution. Disabling it will cause no harm as it is only specific to
browser crashes not whole system crashes. Disabling it *Will Not* cause
problems for the whole computer system.
I don't discount there may be other reasons for this issue. Some addons can
cause browser crashes, but not serious enough to require a whole system
reboot. Any program that causes a whole system to freeze or crash can not be
prevented or remedied by a simple crash protection feature intended only to
recover browser history when a crash occurs.
Just open your browser and end the iexplorer.exe processes(usually at least
two show up even if only one window is open) and then reopen the browser and
the message will come up. Disable the feature and do the same and open IE
and you will go directly to your home page.
Now, according to the Op, before logging off, IE is closed and no windows
are open. This tells me that you are correct at least in seeking out the
cause for the message which may or may not be linked to an incompatible or
out-dated addon. I can at least give you that.
My argument is just as I stated above.
Your suggestions may be helpful to prevent crashes, but Automatic Crash
Recovery will only allow the browser to recover from a crash in a tab or a
whole browser session.
The original poster is a person named Kitti Ritter. She is the one who needs
help. So direct your posts to her and not me.
Finally, please note that in my last two posts, I conceded that this may not
be the only or most helpful solution. It is merely a fix. I posted a link
for Kitti that most likely may be more helpful to prevent IE from wanting to
restore the previous session every time she opens IE.
I know your are suggesting that the browser crashes (after close?) may be
caused by a potentially more serious problem, and that is Kitti's concern.
I think you would do her a better service by directing helpful information
along those lines to her in future posts rather than debating with me over
whether disabling a browser feature is a good idea or not.
So I consider this the end of our discussion on this matter. My future posts
to this topic will only be directed to the Kitti, or others who may wish to
address me directly for whatever reason.
Respectfully submitted.
