I unpacked the file.. It says: "You can run Emacs without any extra steps, but if you want icons in your Start Menu, or for Emacs to detect the image libraries that are already installed on your system as part of GTK, then you should run the program emacs-23.3\bin\addpm.exe." I dont know how to run it? And the bin directory in "emacs-24.2\bin\addpm.exe" doesnt exist either. How do I get it running? Many thanks, sorry for my lack of knowledge. I am just a stupid user, who doesnt know anything. regards Leo --------------040802080305040700060403 Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-15 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hi there,
