By default, all open apps with resume where they were when you restarted. I think there is a checkbox in the Shutdown/Restart dialog to enable/disable that feature.

You can also set which apps open at login with the Login Items in Users & Groups system preferences. Select your user account, then Login Items tab.


Some apps will put themselves into the Login Items. They should have a preference setting to turn that on or off.
