You can do this with the normal Emacs 23 downloaded from ftp.gnu.org

    - Add "(server-start)" to ~/.emacs
    - Right-click on a file of whatever type you want Emacs to be the
      default for and set C:\Path\to\Emacs\bin\emacsclientw.exe as the
      opener.
    - Set the environmental variable ALTERNATE_EDITOR to
      C:\Path\to\Emacs\bin\runemacs.exe 

Works like a charm.
