Thanks... I see what you mean about the asterisk (*)... I hadn't noticed it there before. For some reason my structure is slightly different HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT |-- * |-- (... various other things are here) |-- shell <= ***MOVED STUFF HERE*** |-- shell |-- Open with Emacs |-- command One layer deaper... There's more under the second instance of `shell' but related to other things. I moved to the top shell subdir as indidcated in the diagram, and now things are working. Thanks again
