That's funny. In IDL 5.4 (and later) on Windows the startup file is not
re-run.

Er...you could run the startup file yourself.

I've bound a macro to run the startup script to a handy key. I use it
immediately after .reset_session. (I tried a script that would reset the
session *then* run the startup script. Not surprisingly, this didn't work as
executive commands cannot be called from scripts.)
