This is what I do and it works on Windows XP SP2 as it does on Unixlikes that I have tried. To set an environment variable in Windows you go to Control Panel -> System -> Advanced Tab and click on the "Environment Variables" button. I have my ALTERNATE_EDITOR variable set to C:\Emacs\bin\runemacs.exe. Emacs opens if not already open and is activated with a new buffer otherwise. Best Tony
