If there is no .emacs or _emacs in App Data/ folder and there is a
 _emacs file in C:\, then Emacs 22.1 does not read the _emacs file.
 
If I rename the _emacs to .emacs, then everything works fine;
 
 In C:\, Emacs is looking *exactly* for .emacs and not (_emacs||.emacs)
 when there is no init file (_emacs||.emacs) in App Data/

I believe this is a bug as it breaks an existing setup (although post
fix resolution, I know I have to rename the _emacs  to .emacs).

This behaviour affects Gnus too, which uses the gnus-default-directory
to derive the Mail and News folder paths.  When I first launched Gnus
it kept looking in App Data/ folder instead of the usual C:/News and
C:/Mail. 

regards,
Shanks
