Oh, yes but it works on unix-like systems. And on Windows? I assume to run some 
command from DOS prompt.. Which command? 

If I run the above from MSYS2 shell there is a mismatch with the HOME directory 
and consequently where Emacs reads the init file and where it saves the desktop 
file..

In any case it would be useful doing that from Emacs itself, something like

M-x visit-from foo.text

where foo.text contains the list of file to be visited (with the full path)..
