Have you ever seen a Windows service from inside? A Windows service is a completely different application than an .exe file, more DLL-like. Running Emacs as a Windows service would require code changes. > -- emacs should not (by default) show in a tab on the desktop What is a "tab on the desktop"? > -- C-x C-c should close a frame not emacs A Windows service normally does not react on keys at all. I think what you mean is something line the emacs client/server concept. T.M.
