I have the System Preference/General "Restore windows when quitting and
re-opening apps" option unChecked.  I had Excel open to a worksheet, Adobe 
Reader open to my DXCC Award Credits Listing, Mail and several 
other apps open. I did a Restart without unchecking the Restart dialog box.
After the restart, all windows, apps and documents came up with 
one exception. The Adobe Reader was active (on the dock) but did not open 
the document. Unchecking the Restore user option only seems to apply to 
open Apple documents and does not apply to apps.  When I use the Restart or 
Shut Down, I want OS X to close everything for a Clean start with the exception
of the Login items in my user setting.  

The only way to get the Lion to give you what Apple calls a Clean start 
under Resume at http://www.apple.com/macosx/whats-new/features.html
is to manually uncheck the "Reopen windows when logging back in" in the 
dialog box and this has no memory. My issue with Lion is the lack of memory
on the check box.

I agree but you have to remember to uncheck the box each time. It has
no memory.
