I didn't check the documentation for that, maybe it's described in more
detail somewhere. That information seem to be stored in a textfile init.m
within the subfolder FrontEnd of your personal Basedirectory. Where this
can be found depends on the mathematica version and OS you are using, for
5.1 you should be able to determine the file by evaluating:
ToFileName[{$UserBaseDirectory,"FrontEnd"},"init.m"]
The file contains a call to SetOptions and the option you are looking for is
'NotebooksMenu'. There is also an option 'AutoOpenNotebooks' which will
probably also interesting for you...
