How do you configure Emacs on Windows?  Do you use emacsclientw to do
anything like what I'm trying to do (make double-clicking on an
associated file "just work" no matter whether Emacs is already
running)?

Especially on W7/8, it's become impossible to configure non-trivial
associations in the GUI, because there is no ability to specify the
command name or any options.  I know how to do more via regedit or
other utilities, but I find it's usually better to take the lazy
approach and do things the way "regular" users usually will.  I can
associate emacsclientw.exe and I can set ALTERNATE_EDITOR in the
environment.

Cheers,
