Re: desktop-read issue on XP - emacs 23.2 or 3

[Nick Sandow]

I think in Emacs 22 and later the way to activate `desktop' has changed.

I think you just need:

(desktop-save-mode 1)

in your .emacs nowadays.

Is it possible you are using an older config?  Perhaps a read of the 
info page on desktop would solve ye problem.
