Hi


I find my self visiting few files and setting up the frame / windows
in such a preferred way. 
is there a way to remember this layout so next time I reboot or
restart emacs, I can just restore them?

thanks

Try desktop-save and desktop-read.

Setup everything the way you want then execute desktop-save.  Choose
your home directory.

Then, when you start emacs, you can execute desktop-read .  Or you can
put this in your ~/.emacs file.

thanks, 
I don't have desktop-save, I have desktop-read though.

Sorry.  Add:

; Desktop functions
(require 'desktop)

to your ~/.emacs .  Then restart emacs and try again.

For the layout within a frame (and the files visisted in the windows) I 
did write an elisp package for that called winsav.el. I have not tested 
it extensively though and I did not include routines for saving the data 
to file.

The elisp file is her

I did, it would save it fine, but when calling desktop-read, it only
visited one of the files and opened only one frame among many I had at
the time of desktop-save.

Oh, I don't really use that regularly.  But I did test it, and it opened
all the files I had open.  However, it didn't preserve the windows
(everything opened in its own window).
