Hi,
The trick is to use gnuserv/gnuclient. See
http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/windows/faq3.html#assoc for further details.
The link to http://www.wyrdrune.com/index.html?gnuserv.html~main is not very
useful for Windows users. So after installing gnuserv.el in your
emacs/site-lisp directory and the exe's in emacs/bin (assuming that is in your
path), you add the followinbg to your .emacs file:
;;; start gnuserv
(setenv "GNUSERV_SHOW_EMACS" "1") ; force gnuserv to show emacs
window, always
(if (or (eq window-system 'x)
(eq window-system 'win32)
(eq window-system 'w32))
(progn
(gnuserv-start)
(message "gnuserv started.")))
Then place a shortcut in your sendto folder with "C:\emacs\bin\gnuclientw.exe
-q -F" as the target on which to drop the file you want to pass to emacs. Even
handier IMHO is to associate .txt files and the like with
'C:\emacs\bin\gnuclientw.exe -q -F "%1"' (note the double quotes surrounding
%1: these serve to protect long file names with embedded blanks from being
passed as multiple arguments). Under NT and W2K this can be done in a command
box by (re)defining associations as follows:
ftype elfile=C:\emacs\bin\gnuclientw.exe -q -F "%1"
assoc .el=elfile
>From then on, double clicking an .el file in an Explorer window will pass the
>file into emacs.
Cheers,
Karel

Hi
I run EmacsNT 21.2 on a number of systems e.g:
Windows 95 - At work
Windows 2000 - At work
Windows 98 - At home
On all of these machines I have added a shortcut to runemacs.exe in
the relevant SENDTO directory to get it in to the SendTo menu on right
clicking on a file.
On both work machines, when I select more than one file, right click,
then SendTo emacs, all the files are loaded into a single instance of
the Emacs executable, but on my home machine, each file is loaded into
a separate instance of the Emacs executable.
Does anyone know if there is some customisation in either Emacs (I
have different .emacs files betweem home and work I think!) or in
Windows that would cause the difference in behaviour?
Is is at all relevant that I've had Emacs at home for a number of
years, possibly since version 19.34, but I've only ever installed from
Emacs 20 onwards at work?
Any help greatly appreciated.
Best Regards
John McCabe
