I say "project file" in the loosest sense. I have a few python projects that I work on with ropemacs using emacs W32 for Windows. What would be ideal is if I could have an icon I could click on on my desktop to open up emacs, open up the rope project, and set the speed bar in the top-level directory of that project. Then I could also maybe have a way to open up the next project in its own emacs set up the same way (but for that project). Of course, it's also acceptable if there were an emacs command or a shell command I could use to achieve the same effect instead of an icon on my desktop.
Is there any way to do this? I have absolutely no elisp-fu. :-(
You could get everything set up the way you want for a project, then use the answer I posted about using desktop.el and named sessions:
