Just curious: What is the difference between emacs.exe and
runemacs.exe?
Why not one exec emacs.exe and that's it? I am aware of the addpm.exe
which is supposed to "install" emacs in the registry, but then why
runemacs.exe?
Thanks,
Lynn

emacs.exe works in both console and GUI mode. To do this, it is
marked as a console program as far as Windows is concerned, so
Windows will open a command-prompt window when it is launched from
Explorer.
runemacs.exe is a GUI program, so no ugly console, and its purpose is
to launch emacs.exe with the command-prompt window hidden.
