When I double click on a file with .myext I am getting a dialoge with a selection between two idential alternatives,"GNU Emacs: The extensible self-documenting text editor". I do not know which to select. One of them starts Emacs and the other Runemacs. The texts for the alternative is probably the "FileDescription" of the exe-file. See the src file emacs/nt/emacs.rc.in line 31: VALUE "FileDescription", "GNU Emacs: The extensible self-documenting text editor\0".
The same text is used both in emacs.exe and runemacs.exe. My proposal is:1) Change the text used in the "FileDescription", so they a different for emacs, runemacs, emacsclient and emacsclientw.
2) Create, register and use ProgID like "LibreOffice.Cgm". It could be GNUemacs.txt, GNUrunemacs.txt, GNUemacsclient.txt and GNUemacsclientw.txt
