Sorry for pushing that, but is very annoying to have to load the file
manually at each startup.
Could anyone tell me if I'm doing something wrong here?
 
 My ´Emacs`version: GNU Emacs 24.2.1 (i386-mingw-nt6.1.7601) of 2012-08-29
on MARVIN
 
 What I tried:
  
 
 ## ~/.emacs
 in the file `~/.emacs` I have (among others) those lines:
 
     (if (boundp 'org-mode-user-lisp-path)
         (add-to-list 'load-path org-mode-user-lisp-path)
       (add-to-list 'load-path (expand-file-name
"~/org-mode/org_current/lisp")))
     
     (setq default-directory "C:/Users/mypath/" )
     (if (boundp 'org-mode-user-contrib-lisp-path)
         (add-to-list 'load-path org-mode-user-contrib-lisp-path)
       (add-to-list 'load-path (expand-file-name
"~/org-mode/org_current/contrib/lisp/"))
       (add-to-list 'load-path (expand-file-name "~/org-mode/morelisp/")))
     
     (require 'icicles)
     (require 'dired+)
     (require 'org)
     (require 'bookmark+)
     
     (load "org")
 
 and later
 
     (load "C:/Users/mypath/org-config/myname_orgmodeconfig.el")
 
  
 
 ## C:/Users/mypath/org-config/myname_orgmodeconfig.el
 
 contains
 
 
 
     (add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.\\(org\\|org_archive\\|txt\\)$" .
org-mode))
     
     ;; Standard key bindings
     (global-set-key "\C-cl" 'org-store-link)
     (global-set-key "\C-ca" 'org-agenda)
     
     (if (boundp 'org-user-agenda-files)
         (setq org-agenda-files org-user-agenda-files)
       (setq org-agenda-files (quote ("~/org"
                                  ))))
 
 So I try to use all org-files in the path `~/org` as agenda files.
 
 When I launch `emacs`, I get the following result in the `*Messages` buffer:
 
     Turning OFF Icicle mode...done
     Turning ON Icicle mode...done
     Turning OFF Icicle mode...done
     Turning ON Icicle mode...done
     Turning ON Icicle mode...done
     Turning OFF Icicle mode...done
     Loading c:/Users/mypath/org-mode/org_current/lisp/org.el (source)...done
     Loading c:/Users/mypath/org-config/myname_orgmodeconfig.el (source)...done
     Loading paren...done
     For information about GNU Emacs and the GNU system, type C-h C-a.
 
 
 
 # The Problem
 
 So I assume, as the file `myname_orgmodeconfig.el` has been loaded, all
the elisp code inside should have been executed and it should have also set
my agenda files.
 
  
 
 **However, the list of agenda files is empty after startup.
 When I then _manually_ ofen the file `myname_orgmodeconfig.el` and execute
the command `eval-buffer`, everything is fine.**
 
 How can I fix that?
 
Kind regards

Martin
