How to get the list of notebooks that are automatically opened when Mathematica starts programmatically? I know a tedious approach is opening option inspector and finding and copying the list out.

    $\begingroup$ Options[$FrontEnd] gives you the same info as the option inspector. But I always thought that Mathematica will only auto-open notebooks on OS X, and that's an OS X feature, not a Mathematica feature. (I might be wrong.) $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ @Szabolcs I think you are right. It has never automatically opened notebooks for me on Windows or Linux. $\endgroup$
