Maybe the emacs session at http://www.fmi.uni-passau.de/~wedler/session/
will do what you want (disclaimer: I've never actually used this package
myself, but now that you bring up registers, this package looks
interesting).

> C-x r w r
> Save the state of the selected frame's windows in register r
> (window-configuration-to-register).
> C-x r f r
> Save the state of all frames, including all their windows, in
> register r (frame-configuration-to-register).
>
> Use C-x r j r to restore a window or frame configuration. This is the

> configuration, any existing frames not included in the configuration
> become invisible. If you wish to delete these frames instead, use C-u C-x
