I installed the latest emacsW32 onto my Windows XP machine and am confused. I need to edit my .emacs file to allow ESS to run but can't find my .emacs file (yes, I can see hidden files and have searched for _emacs too). In emacs when I search the HOME directory it takes me to "C:\Documents and Settings\Quin\Application Data" which has a ".emacs.d" directory but no sight of my init file. Previously my .emacs file was just in "C:\" Had a look about for help and in the FAQs but am not spotting anything useful. Where is my .emacs file? Yikes, sorry to be so dumb. Thanks in advance. **
