when you switch workspaces or close and re-open the editor.

To access auto restore settings, from the main menu, click Window

Preferences, expand SlickEdit

and click General in the tree, then double-click the General setting. On the General Options dialog, select
the

General Tab

. The Auto restore options, listed below, control which elements of your SlickEdit Core

environment that are restored.
