Tired of navigating back to where you were last in a file?

;; Save point position between sessions
(require 'saveplace)
(setq-default save-place t)
(setq save-place-file (expand-file-name ".places" user-emacs-directory))

The saveplace package is part of Emacs, and remembers the position of point - even between emacs sessions.

The last line sets the path to where saveplace stores your position data. Change it at your peril! *

* Ahem, there really is no peril. That was just melodrama.
