Hi Lars, Thanks, that did the trick! I did try this approach in the past but I counldn't get it to work as expected. It appears as though this has been fixed and its working now. You need to add a -c also to the command if you want it to always show a new window/frame In case anyone finds this thread this is how I did it: in Windows 7: pin the emacsclientw.exe to the start menu. Right click on the icon in the start menu and change the target to be: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Emacs\emacs\bin\emacsclientw.exe" -a "C:\Program Files (x86)\Emacs\emacs\bin\runemacs.exe" -c Change "Start in" to: %USERPROFILE% to get a more sane start location. and change the name on the general tab to emacs (or whatever you like) Thanks again, Jason
