Could someone please point me to a solution for Windows 10? (If there is not
one, I guess I will resort to AHC.)
Did you try making a taskbar icon that invokes emacsclient instead?
I had not thought about that, but I gave it a try. I created an
ALTERNATE_EDITOR environment variable pointing to runemacs.exe, and I
made the target for the taskbar icon be ...\emacsclientw.exe -n. That
fails because emacsclient is not getting a file argument. So I added
--eval (maximize-frame). With that, runemacs does get called and emacs
starts; but, unfortunately, runemacs eats the "(maximize-frame)" string
and creates a file by that name. Not sure why the --eval does not
prevail. Ignoring the unfortunate file creation, this still creates a
separate taskbar icon for the running instance of emacs. The only good
news is that the pinned icon does activate the running instance,
evaluating (maximize-frame).
Obviously much improvement is needed. Does anyone have any specific
ideas to achieve the much more desirable behavior we were getting with
Windows 7 and 8.1?
