You need to use the saveconf.el package that was first
distributed with Emacs version 18.52.

Put this in your .emacs file:

(require 'saveconf)
(setq auto-save-and-recover-context t)
(setq save-buffer-context t)
(if (null (cdr command-line-args))
    (setq inhibit-startup-message (recover-context)))

Emacs will resume visiting the buffers you were last editing in
the current directory if you invoke it (Emacs) without any
arguments.
