want to use it with other lisp implementations, I can't). Are there
any other good free and light editors which let me run common lisp
from it (not just a code editor and then do the silly load...command!)?

For a while I tried Corman Lisp but when you try and create GUI's it
all falls apart UNLESS, you memorize Petzold's Win32 book cover to
cover. If GUI's aren't a concern for you try Corman.

I ended up purchasing Lispworks and it has everything you're looking
for except the free part. Very easy to create GUI's AND you can set it
up for Windows like keystrokes, copy, cut and paste, etc.

They have a personal edition that will allow you to try it, but if
your serious about programming, buying a commerical product is way
better than downloading some freeby.
