Is there a function or variable telling us the platform XEmacs is running on? If so, you could wrap the offending code in a platform-dependent bit: (if (and (not (zerop (user-uid))) ==> (if (and (not (and (zerop (user-uid)) (eq (platform) 'winders))))) Or such. To me this makes the most sense, since the user-uid on a Windows machine is just there to satisfy code that thinks it's running on a Unix machine. Changing the default value of nt-fake-unix-uid might break some stuff that requires it to be zero or non-zero. But I don't know if any such code exists. But it doesn't break anything, it might be cleaner than my idea.
