Emacs: How do I stop "*Buffer List*" from showing when opening 3+ files

When I open 3+ files in emacs, I get a split window with one of my files in the upper buffer and Buffer List in the lower buffer.

开发者_开发技巧How can I get emacs to NOT put Buffer List there, but instead show another one of my files.

thanks. -John

Try this:

(setq inhibit-startup-buffer-menu t)

Documentation can be found here.

Note: This option was introduced in Emacs 22.

For Emacs 21 and before, you could add the following workaround to your .emacs which will force Emacs to only have one window visible upon startup:

(add-hook 'after-init-hook 'delayed-delete-other-windows)
(defun delayed-delete-other-windows ()
  "need the call to happen after startup runs, so wait for idle"
  (run-with-idle-timer 0 nil 'delete-other-windows))
