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 ________________________________ From: Harry Putnam [mailto:reader@newsguy.com] Sent: Mon 8/23/2010 1:15 PM To: help-emacs-windows@gnu.org Cc: help-gnu-emacs@gnu.org Subject: [h-e-w] [windows Q] `emacs here' like windows power tool `cmdprompt here' 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.
