1389    If you want to use either @code{ssh} based method on Windows, then you
1390    might encounter problems with @code{ssh-agent}.  Using this program, you
1391    can avoid typing the pass-phrase every time you log in (and the
1392    @code{scpx} method more or less requires you to use @code{ssh-agent}
1393    because it does not allow you to type a password or pass-phrase).
1394    However, if you start Emacs from a desktop shortcut, then the
1395    environment variable @code{SSH_AUTH_SOCK} is not set and so Emacs and
1396    thus Tramp and thus @code{ssh} and @code{scp} started from Tramp cannot
1397    communicate with @code{ssh-agent}.  It works better to start Emacs from
1398    the shell.
