A common workaround for that is to use the "Debugger" registry entry [1] which sends all calls to notepad.exe to a "debugger" process - usually another text editor. This, however, also sends a "notepad.exe" parameter to the given client, so if I define the notepad.exe debugger as "emacsclientw -na runemacs.exe", it opens notepad.exe (as text) in Emacs. GVim, for example, just ignores that parameter, other text editors like Notepad2 and AkelPad use a "/z" parameter, meaning "ignore the next parameter", for that. In emacsclientw, my chosen workaround is to add the "-F" parameter. [2] This is a dirty solution but it somehow works. So my feature request is: Add a parameter to emacsclientw which means "ignore the following parameter". :-) [1] http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2984846/set-image-file-execution-options-will-always-open-the-named-exe-file-as-defaul [2] http://img203.imageshack.us/img203/1294/itu.png -- I could contain traces of nuts.

I think that this sounds like too specialised behaviour to warrant adding a new parameter to emacsclient. It should be trivial to write a wrapper script that does exactly what you want here (i.e., just call emacsclient without the first parameter).
