>From (info "(emacs)General Variables"):
`HOME'
     The location of your files in the directory tree; used for
     expansion of file names starting with a tilde (`~'). ...  On
     Windows, the default value of `HOME' is the `Application Data'
     subdirectory of the user profile directory (normally, this is
     `C:/Documents and Settings/USERNAME/Application Data', where
     USERNAME is your user name), though for backwards compatibility
     `C:/' will be used instead if a `.emacs' file is found there.

`C-x C-f ~/.emacs RET' gives you the proper (empty) .emacs file.

BTW, please don't send HTML mails, use plain text instead.

Bye, Reiner.
