In addition to automatically restoring your last Emacs session state, you can also save any number of session states and restore them on demand in any other session, any number of times. IOW, you can easily switch among different desktops.
The easiest way to do this is to load library Bookmark+ and use key C-x r K to save the current session state as a desktop bookmark. You can then restore any desktop bookmark in any session using key C-x j K.

go to your .emacs file and type (desktop-save-mode 1) this will save all current buffers to a "desktop" file, it wont save the actual layout of your frames but you can look into "registers" for that.

Here's some code to do it. For the code to work, you need the "tapestry" Lisp library installed. If you use the VM mailer, you have the library installed already. Otherwise you can download it from here.
Put the following code in your .emacs file. When you want to restore your window and frame setup from your last Emacs session, type M-x load-my-tapestry RET.
(require 'tapestry)
(defvar my-tapestry-file "~/.tapestry")
(defun load-my-tapestry ()
(interactive)
(let ((b (find-file-noselect my-tapestry-file)))
(sit-for 0)
(set-tapestry (read b))
(kill-buffer b)))
(defun save-my-tapestry ()
(interactive)
(let ((tap (tapestry)))
(with-temp-buffer
(let ((standard-output (current-buffer)))
(setcar tap (make-list (length (car tap)) nil))
(print tap)
(write-region (point-min) (point-max) my-tapestry-file)))))
(add-hook 'kill-emacs-hook 'save-my-tapestry)

Actually when I rerun it, I getset-tapestry: End of file during parsingerror again. I opened a Emacs session, opened two frames, and loaded two different files in each of them, thenM-x save-my-tapestry, then close it. Reopen Emacs, then doM-x load-my-tapestry RET, it gaveset-tapestry: End of file during parsing.
