Hello,

When I launch Emacs on my system, it starts with the *GNU Emacs* 
buffer. I would prefer to start with a blank buffer. What can I do for 
that ?

I also don't use the *scratch* buffer. Is there's a way to avoid it to 
be loaded.

Thanks,
François

Add:

    (setf inhibit-splash-screen t)
    (switch-to-buffer (get-buffer-create "emtpy"))
    (delete-other-windows)

at the end of your ~/.emacs

It works. Thanks for your help.

It's documented how to switch that buffer off. Then the *scratch*  
buffer certainly will appear. The disadvantage of a blank buffer is  
that its contents is very volatile, no backups are made.

The launcher I use on my desktop runs "emacs new-file-$RANDOM", so it
always opens a blank buffer that gets the 'close without saving'
prompt.
