[windows Q] `emacs here' like windows power tool `cmd prompt here'

[windows Q] `emacs here' like windows power tool `cmd prompt here'

[Harry Putnam]

My subject line is probably a miss-quote since I don't recall what the
MS `power tool' was called that allowed user to open a dos command
window at whatever directory she was browsing using a right click
menu.

If anyone knows what I'm talking about, maybe you'll know if anyone
has ever written something for emacs that would allow user to open an
emacs terminal at whatever directory she is browsing.

Here's one that was made for cygwin:

    http://software.ellerton.net/cygwin/

It seems to be just a registry patch file, so you might be able to edit
to edit in a 'runemacs.exe -f shell ...' to get what you're looking for.

StackOverflow has a "How to" page that may be helpful:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/455077/how-to-create-a-right-click-context-shell-shortcut-edit-with-emacs
 
The site refers to "emacsclientw.exe", but "gnuclientw.exe" settings would be similar, for example:
REGEDIT4
;  This puts "emacs" into the right-click menu in Windows Explorer.
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell]
@=""
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\emacs]
@="&Emacs"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\emacs\command]
@="C:\\emacs\\bin\\gnuclientw -q \"%L\""

Best regards,
Bryan

Sorry to be so dense, but is that literal?  I'm not recognizing the
format there

Ackkk... I see now, it is a *.reg file

I use such code for "Open in Emacs..." dialog on files:

============ Makefile ===========
.PHONY: install
install:
	EMACSCLIENT_PATH=`cygpath -w $$(which emacsclientw) | sed 
's=\\\\=&&&&=g'`; \
	sed "s=@@path-to-emacsclient@@=$$EMACSCLIENT_PATH=g" <emacs.reg 
 >emacs.tmp.reg; \
	reg import emacs.tmp.reg; rm emacs.tmp.reg
============ Makefile ===========

=========== emacs.reg ===========
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\emacs]
@="Open with Emacs ..."

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\emacs\command]
@="@@path-to-emacsclient@@ -a runemacs -n \"%1\""
=========== emacs.reg ===========

This require Cygwin and native (non Cygwin!) GNU Emacs
and <emacs-root>\bin under PATH.
