<p dir="auto"><strong>Feature request</strong> for the opposite of <a class="issue-link js-issue-link" data-error-text="Failed to load title" data-id="28452689" data-permission-text="Title is private" data-url="https://github.com/atom/atom/issues/1603" data-hovercard-type="issue" data-hovercard-url="/atom/atom/issues/1603/hovercard" href="https://github.com/atom/atom/issues/1603">#1603</a> (not to reverse it, but to add an option to disable it).</p>
<p dir="auto"><strong>Currently:</strong> Atom will reopen files that were not closed from last time (within the same project)<br>
<strong>Desired:</strong> An option to disable this, so that no additional files are opened when Atom starts</p>
<p dir="auto">There is currently <a href="https://discuss.atom.io/t/dont-open-previously-opened-files-on-new-start/5959" rel="nofollow">a hack for this</a>, however, a configurable setting would be much more appropriate.</p>
<p dir="auto"><strong>Using:</strong> Atom 0.198.0 on Linux</p>
<p dir="auto">Thanks</p>
<p dir="auto">It's useful that atom can remember the files/folders you had open last time and then re-open them next time you start atom. I can't seem to figure out how to turn off this behavior though, I generally <em>want</em> to start clean each time I open atom.</p>
<p dir="auto">Is there a config option to enable/disable this feature? Or could we implement a dialog box when closing atom that asks if you want it to remember what you had open?</p>
