I tried enabling desktop.el. It saves the configuration of the files to .emacs.desktop. In particular it set in .emacs.desktop (for some reason I'm not sure of) a file called reject1.tex to come up in fundamental mode and also come up with whizzytex (which I also installed) enabled. I disabled desktop.el in my .emacs files and deleted .emacs.desktop and thought that would be the end of the matter. But unfortunately not. Whenever I open up reject1.tex I get it in fundamental mode and with whizzytex enabled (so that advi pops up). It is really starting to annoy me. I can get rid of this behaviour by removing whizzytex, but it comes back when I reinstall. I assume there is some config information sitting on my hard drive that is causing this, either from desktop.el or from whizzytex. No other latex files behave this way. Ideas? Faheem.
