So the shortcut is created from a running instance of emacs.exe.

And this one is created from the executable.

Sound quite logical, because the executable isn't associated with the
"GNU.Emacs" ID until it runs and sets it itself.

So this should be documented in nt/README.W32, and perhaps addpm.c
should set the System.AppUserModel.ID property in the shortcuts it
creates.
