I install emacs on a new machine by:
1 - Drag and drop the directory from one machine to the other
2 - Drag and drop my .emacs to the new HOME
3 - Put the emacs executable in the PATH and
put a shortcut on the task bar
I don't have to touch the registry.
The NTemacs FAQ says:
If you run "addpm.exe", and answer OK to the message box that
pops up then GNU Emacs will be added to your start menu, and
certain registry keys will be created for you. This isn't
compulsorary as in previous releases - so the choice is yours.
Perhaps the registry keys it's talking about are file associations?
Since I use gnuclient, I wouldn't want them anyway.
