Old user needs help

Hallo,     and thanks for reading.
I am an old user of emacs (since foregoing century) meanwhile  80 year and
5 month old.
Using W11 on an HP laptop
I downloaded emacs (got it in my private Download directory and extracted
the zip THERE)
made a desktop link to run runemacs
And works nicely
using org mode for a lot of different tasks  (as I did already long ago)
Came across orgmode.org   but that info I can not get to work .

For example I got not as years ago an  .emacs  at c:/ as was done years ago
by installing emacs

For example I have a juni2022.org file and would like that that org-file is
opened automatically on a click on the emacs desktop short-cut icon.
(years ago something in init.el (load-file "..." )if  I remember correctly

So understanding orgmode.com I need, so it looks like, that I have first to
adjust my emacs installation. I appreciate any help.
Thanks Peter Gragert

You can put (find-file "...") near the end of your init.el

See
https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Init-File.html
and
https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Visiting.html

Alternatively, you can achieve a similar behavior using
desktop-save-mode. desktop-save-mode will make Emacs remember all the
open files just before closing and later restore them when you open
Emacs again.
See
https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Saving-Emacs-Sessions.html

Hope if helps.

Best,
Ihor
