			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So my good ond Linux laptop recently stopped booting &#8211; i guess it finally gave up after than nasty drop a couple of months ago! So, spending all my time on Windows, I naturally had to get emacs up and running, since I&#8217;ve pretty much fallen in love with emacs over the course of this semester. After installing the windows copy and customizing it with the .emacs file and additional goodies from Berkeley&#8217;s <a href="http://ugastro.berkeley.edu/">Radio Astronomy Lab</a> I wanted to be able to open all my random files with Emacs. And boy, i don&#8217;t want to make file associations for everything. So i found this handy tutorial to add an &#8220;Emacs It!&#8221; selection in the general right-click menu in windows.</p>
<p>This is from <a href="http://www.tech-recipes.com/windows_tips1176.html">Tech Recipies</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>Customizing Right Click on File:</p>
<p>      -open regedit (start\run, type regedit)<br />      -expand until you are in: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell<br />      -if the key &#8216;shell&#8217; does not exist, right click on * and add new key and name it &#8216;shell&#8217;<br />      -to add the item right click on &#8216;shell&#8217; and create a new key, the name of this key will be what appears in the menu. I named mine &#8220;cmd&#8221;<br />      -next right click your newly created key &#8220;cmd&#8221; and create another key under it named &#8220;command&#8221;<br />      -double click the default entry in this folder and type in command.exe<br />      -(if you are doing a different program, you would do the complete path to that program instead of command.exe)<br />      -that&#8217;s it your done, now when you right click on a file the option to open a command prompt will be there!</p></blockquote>
<p>Yup, there we go! Pretty handy stuff.</p>
