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.
