As a newbie, you need to learn to be aware of the mini-buffer and the
mode line. These are the two lines at the bottom of the emacs frame.
When youtype M-x temporary-expand RET, a message appears in the
mini-buffer tell you what to do then to revert to the initial window
confguration. Namely, type C-], with the standard keymap.
Otherwise, window-configuration-to-register is nice too.
