+#+TITLE: Desktop registry
+#+STARTUP: showall
+
+After reading [[https://ericjmritz.wordpress.com/2013/05/28/emacs-desktops/][this post]] I started using =desktop.el= as a simple project
+file-like system. The only problem was that remembering which desktops
+were where and switching between them is bothersome. This module tries
+to fix that.
+
+* Installation
+
+  If you have [[http://marmalade-repo.org/][Marmalade]] set up you can just use:
+
+  : M-x package-install <RET> desktop-registry
+
+* Usage
+
+  You can use =desktop-registry-prepend-directory= to add a new
+  directory to the registry, or
+  =desktop-registry-prepend-current-desktop= to add the currently loaded
+  desktop to the registry. If you enable
+  =desktop-registry-auto-register= it will automatically add new desktop
+  files to the registry when you use =desktop-save=.
+
+  To switch between desktops you can use
+  =desktop-registry-change-desktop=, this will prompt (with completion)
+  for the directory you would like to load.
