Great idea!

But maybe it should always use the archieve (cache - most stuff should be 
there anyway...)

Why?

I have ADSL (0.5 Mbps) and I often log off with several web pages opened.
So when I logon all these windows want to download all their contents at once.
This takes quite some time...

If they instead opened their cached contents and then verified it for 
consistency - it would speed up start up quite a lot.

(I do also have some pages in the Autostart folder - they could use the same
 approach)
