How to load latest opened files? Or load specific files?

How to load latest opened files? Or load specific files?

[ssecorp]

Can I somehow make a command like "open the files that were open last
time emacs was used"?

And can I set a command to open for example:
haskell-mode
c:/mypath/haskell/someprogram.hs

?

Look at Menu Options > Customize Emacs > Specific Option
recentf- tab

The settings I made inserted

  '(recentf-max-menu-items 20)
  '(recentf-max-saved-items 40)
  '(recentf-mode t nil (recentf))

into (Custom-set-variables ...

in my .emacs
There are many recentf options I haven't tried. The defaults seemed 
appropriate.

There is also something called session.el but I don't know how to 
install it.

if i understand the question correctly this should be handled by major modes

In my .emacs I put

;; ----------------------------------------------
;; *Recentf*
;; Recent files in menu
(require 'recentf)
(recentf-mode t)
(setq recentf-max-saved-items 200)
(global-set-key (kbd "\e\eq")  'recentf-open-files)

If I need file with wich I recently worked I type <Esc> <Esc> q and 
search by C-s for a needed file.

Such method take advantage in speed from finding file by C-x C-f or in 
Dired.

Also check out the Desktop functionality:

Or:

C-h r m saving e RET
