It refers to the init file as `.emacs', and says nothing about possible alternatives. On the other hand, and according to the same info node, C:\ is checked as one possible "home" directory. Thus, init files such as "C:\.emacs.el" or "C:\.emacs.d\init.el" should be valid ones. But I've just tested those two and Emacs don't find them. -- Dani Moncayo
