Yesterday (2013-07-31), with emacs 23.2 installed on my Windows7 (64bit) desktop, I unzipped emacs-24.3-bin-i386.zip using 7-Zip "Un= zip here". 2. I copied the unzipped folder to "C:\Program Files (x86)\GNU\emacs-24.3". 3. I clicked "C:\Program Files (x86)\GNU\emacs-24.3\bin\addpm.exe" to updat= e the new program menu group. 4. Windows - All Programs - Gnu Emacs - Emacs; M-x version --> "GNU Emacs 2= 4.3.1 (i386-mingw-nt6.1.7601) of 2013-03-17 on MARVIN" 5. Right click "C:\Program Files (x86)\GNU\emacs-24.3\bin\runemacs.exe" "Pin to Taskbar" It does and it loads from there. 5.5. I deleted "C:\Program Files (x86)\GNU\emacs-23.2". 6. <=3D=3D=3D The Problem =3D=3D=3D> Right click "foo.bib", "bar.tex", or "foobar.txt", "Open with ..." does = not allow me to select "C:\Program Files (x86)\GNU\emacs-24.3\bin\runemacs.e= xe". "Open with" presents me with a dialog box. I choose the "Browse..." butt= on, navigate to "runemacs.exe", double-click the file, which populates the t= ext box, but when I press "Open", "runemacs.exe" does not appear in the "Ope= n with" dialog box as a program that I can choose. 7. I can choose "C:\Program Files (x86)\GNU\emacs-24.3\bin\emacs.exe" ("GNU Emacs: The extensible self-documenting text editor"), which opens the annoying command window in the background. 8. I can also choose "C:\Program Files (x86)\GNU\emacs-24.3\bin\emacsclient= w.exe" ("GNU EmacsClient: Client for the extensible self-documenting text edito= r"), but that produces the following error message: Emacsclient ERROR C:\Program Files (x86)\GNU\emacs-24.3\bin\emacsclientw.exe: No socket or alternate editor. Please use: --server-file (or environment variable EMACS_SERVER_FILE) --alternate-editor (or environment variable ALTERNATE_EDITOR) [OK] How can I remove this "emacsclientw.exe" from the "Open with" associatio= n? 9. I had this problem years ago when I worked in another department (unrestricted SW use) with an earlier version of emacs for Windows 2k. The problem disappeared with a new OS install and a new vers= ion of emacs. I presently work in an environment where I can only run "approved software". Everything else is forbidden by policy. Emacs is allowed. I cannot edit my registry, but I can ask my IT department to edit it for me. Is this a registry problem? If so, can I ask my IT department to cor= rect this problem by making certain edits? If so, which ones?
