But (system-type) in NTemacs is windows-nt. To overcome the problem put the following in your .emacs or tex-site: (setq TeX-shell "YOUR-SHELL") (setq TeX-shell-command-option "/C") ;if you use command ord cmd You also have to change the function TeX-directory-absolute-p in tex.el. In its definition change the (memq ..) line to include windows-nt and recompile.

Since it is a bit specialised I won't include it here. I've put it at ftp://neumann.maths.mu.oz.au/Pub/tex-mode.el Read the start of it for details.

I moved emacs, auctex, and miktex installation to a removable hard drive (G:) and changed appropriate directory, registry entries. TeX stopped working, or more properly, Emacs seemed to think that LaTeX was still compiling even after it had finished. I had to kill the program to exit. However, if I move the emacs files back to the C:\ drive and leave everything else on G:, all works fine. Why would this be?
