Yes, of course, please have a look at "Saving Emacs Sessions" in the GNU Emacs Manual. But I do not use these features myself. OK, at first I was also thinking: Why the heck is there nothing like "recently opened files" etc. in Emacs. But after a while I used Emacs in another more efficient way. I just never close Emacs and opened files between reboots. > > Guys, I really appreciate everybody's comments and replies.
