No.  You are prompted to close unsaved files. Filenames are saved in 
Recent files, making it easy to reopen.

I have used Notepad++, which automatically reopens files left open when 
last closed, but I find that to be a nuisance as much as a help.  But it 
is less a nuisance in Notepad++ because it has one tabbed window instead 
of multiple windows (something I would like for Idle).
