The typical thing, I think, would be to put it in z:\\site-lisp and then
add a line like this to your .emacs:

    (add-to-list 'load-path "z:/site-lisp")

Which adds that directory to the list of places Emacs will look for Lisp
libraries.

You can use whatever directory you like, provided you have an
appropriate (add-to-list 'load-path ...) in your .emacs before the
library in question is required.
