Hello
I would like to use org-mode to manage my documents. I would like to be able
to click on a like and have the document open in the operate program for the
OS; example a pdf file will open in Adobe Acrobat Reader in windows and Okular
in my linux system.
I am trying to migrate to emacs bundle with cygwin in hopes I can create a
configuration that is portable between the two systems. I have been using the
portableApplication emacs and it does work. I am able to click on a link and
open a document in a Window's application. Can I get this to work with the
cygwin version?
Any recommendation on a emacs for Windows?

I installed the Windows binarys distrubied by the emacs project, it works
everything. I set the enviromental variables ~ and HOME to point to my home
directory where my .emacs files are stored.
That was it. I spent months fighting with PortableApps and the emacs bundle
with cygwin.

And, for opening the right apps, using a .mailcap file can help [1] (where you
can specify apps to use when in Windows, or when in Linux, all in the same
file).

## .mailcap -- MIME Viewer configuration file
#* Commentary:
# `%s' means "put the datafile name here when the viewer is executed"
#
# `test=test -n "$DISPLAY"' is used to determine if the current session is
# X-capable (by checking for the existence of a DISPLAY environment
# variable)
#* Code:
#...
application/pdf; "C:/Program Files (x86)/SumatraPDF/SumatraPDF.exe" "%s"
application/pdf; evince "%s"; test=sh -c 'test $DISPLAY'
application/pdf; pdftotext "%s" -; copiousoutput
#...
