That's why I put:

; --------------------------------------------------
;;This ask before quiting:
  (defun ask-before-quit ()
    "Ask if the user really wants to quit Emacs."
    (interactive)
    (y-or-n-p "Really quit emacs? "))

  (add-hook 'kill-emacs-query-functions 'ask-before-quit)
; --------------------------------------------------

in my .emacs

Regards,

Jaume
