excellent!

With

(require 'switch-to-new-buffer)
(put 'buffer-offer-save 'permanent-local t)
(let ((default-major-mode 'org-mode)) 
 (switch-to-new-untitled-buffer))
(setq initial-buffer-choice 'none)

in site-start.el and Kevin's last version of switch-to-new-buffer, Emacs will now start with an "untitled" buffer (in Org-mode; no splashscreen), always ask to save data in a dirty "untitled" buffer and also dropping a file on the Emacs Windows icon shortcut will open it.

Thank you!

Warm regards,
 Stefan
