Reload File in Emacs

I can't remember how I deal with this situation.... I just realized that Emacs doesn't reload a file, if it has been modified outside emacs......

To reload a file, this is the command you need to run...M-x revert-buffer

Setting Up Emacs for Windows

Here is a good .el to help emacs recognize cygwin path style
http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/download/cygwin-mount.el

to enable
(require 'cygwin-mount)

(cygwin-mount-activate)
There is a problem with the PS1 variable of bash. Emacs doesn't recognize the escape characters for colours. The solution is to add a condition to the bash profile:
if [ $TERM = emacs] ; then
PS1='\u@\h:\W\n$'
fi

A Useful Emacs 4 Windows documentation

This could help me setting up my emacs in Windows!

ps: Here is how to set the font for Emacs
 M-x set-default-font
