??? You mean, modelsim detected automatically that Emacs is installed
and automatically adapted itself to invoke Emacs as its editor?  I'd
be surprised.

The registry keys set by Emacs are these:

 "SOFTWARE\GNU\Emacs"
 "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\emacs.exe"
 "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\runemacs.exe"

That probably means that the problem is in how modelsim invokes Emacs.
I know nothing about modelsim; any chance you could ask its
maintainers about this problem?
