Open file to last window position?

I seem to remember that Macs would reopen a file to its previous position on the desktop before it was last closed.

Seems that this doesn't happen anymore.

Is there a setting for this, or am I mistaken?


Thanks

If you close the lid and let it sleep, then reopen the lid you would hope everything is right where you left it.
