With a little addition, also opening the current directory in emacs by clicking on the background becomes possible.

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\openwemacs]
@="Open &with Emacs"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\openwemacs\command]
@="C:\\Program Files\\emacs-24.2\\bin\\runemacs.exe \"%V\""

Here %V is the current directory. Using %1 doesn't work in this case.
