I would then create a new directory and use key command `Y' from package `dired-x' to place symbolic link in the designated directory. In that directory I would have symbolic links of files that have to be loaded. If I don't need a file, I would remove symbolic link. The original file would be wherever it is. Then instead of having the long list there and updating it each time, I would use this: (mapc 'load-file (directory-files "~/.emacs.d/" t ".el$")) -- Jean Take action in Free Software Foundation campaigns: https://www.fsf.org/campaigns In support of Richard M.
