How do I configure emacs to remember last opened buffer on the next emacs session?

How do I configure emacs to remember last opened buffer on the next emacs session?

[Elchanan Sharon]

Hi,

I searched the archive a while but failed to find the answer to the 
following question:

Working with emacs, I usually open a lot of buffers (20-30).
There is always a time I need to turn off the computer, hence closing
also the emacs session.

I am looking for a way to make emacs when re-activated, to remember and 
open all the buffers that I recently worked with last time.

Any RTFM/links are welcome.

TIA,

Elchanan Sharon

For my needs I've found it a little more convenient to make a macro that 
loads all my most-used files. I bound it to the shifted-F1 key.

Just another way of doing things.

Look at window-configuration-to-register (or more globally the
window-configuration related functions). It seems to be what you are
looking for.

See the section "Saving Emacs Sessions" in the Emacs manual.
