new emacsclientw problem

[B. T. Raven]

I have ALTERNATE_EDITOR environment variable set to 
c:\emacs\bin\emacsclientw.exe -n -a C:emacs\bin\runemacs.exe "%1"
and (server-start) in my .emacs,

and in registry HKCR



*/shell/open/command (default) REG_SZ c:\emacs\bin\emacsclientw.exe -n -a

./shell/open/command (default) REG_SZ c:\emacs\bin\emacsclientw.exe -n -a

emacs/shell/open/command (default) REG_EXPAND_SZ 
c:\emacs\bin\emacsclientw.exe -n -a C:emacs\bin\runemacs.exe "%1"

I realize that the -a switch is the same as ALTERNATE_EDITOR but it 
shouldn't conflict should it?

There are also a few entries in assoc and ftype so that for example .txt 
files are opened with emacs. With all this I still get another instance 
of emacs opening if I click on an appropriate file in msw explorer, and 
after seeing that "Emacsclient ERROR c:\emacs\bin\emacsclientw.exe: 
connect : No error  |OK?|". Does any of you have any clues as to what is 
going on here?
