Well, the 'desktop' library is very useful. It reloads the state you left 
emacs in on startup. From my .emacs (which I ripped from someone else, 
etc.) :

;; =================================================================
;; Saving Emacs Sessions - Useful when you have a bunch of source
;; files open and you don't want to go and manually open each
;; one, especially when they are in various directories. Page 377
;; of the GNU Emacs Manual says: "The first time you save the state
;; of the Emacs session, you must do it manually, with the command
;; M-x desktop-save. Once you have dome that, exiting Emacs will
;; save the state again -- not only the present Emacs session, but
;; also subsequent sessions. You can also save the state at any
;; time, without exiting Emacs, by typing M-x desktop-save again.
;; =================================================================

(load "desktop")
(desktop-load-default)
(desktop-read)
