> Just so you know, there are official Windows builds (even "weekly > nightlies") available. The Windows keys work there.
To add to what Deniz said (and not to take anything away from Lennart's EmacsW32): To "install" any of those GNU builds, just download the zip file, unzip it, then create a Windows shortcut to .../bin/runemacs.exe (or to emacsclient.exe or to emacs.exe, depending on what you want). E.g., if you unzipped and put the subdirs in directory c:\Emacs-24, then create a shortcut to c:\Emacs-24\bin\runemacs.exe. FWIW, I use this in the shortcut, to start out with Dired (in directory C:\my-dir): Target: c:\Emacs-24\bin\runemacs.exe --debug-int "C:\my-dir" Start in: C:\my-dir (But I am not aware of any GNU "nightly" Windows builds, and the "weekly" builds have been more like monthly lately.)
