From my experience with x50v, turning on and off the PDA does not startup or shutdown any software. The PDA does not work like a PC, on which shutting down closes all the open software. Instead, whatever state the the software is in on PDA when you turn it off is the state it will be in when you turn it back on again.

With that said, Soft Resetting (SR) the PDA is similar to shutting down a PC. When you SR, and the PDA starts up again, all software is closed, and all unsaved data is lost.

I do not use Magic Button. I tried it last year, and didn't like it. But I do like having the ability to switch between open programs on the PDA, and (after trying disappointing AltTab simulators) have come to appreciate the Switcher Bar (default software), but I do not like having to turn it on after every SR.

To set up Switcher Bar so it launches after every SR, I copied the link for it (Switcher Bar.lnk) under Windows into Windows/Startup. Now everytime I SR my PDA, which is probably at least once a day, Switcher Bar comes back on :)

Hopefully this information will be helpful.
