How to open a file in Emacs from dired?
In my .emacs I have a keybinding for using it from dired: If you use Dired+ with w32-browser.el you can take advantage of MS Windows file associations in Dired. Just use ‘M-RET’ to “open” a file using its file-association Open operation. Use ‘C-RET’ to open Windows Explorer to that file or folder.
