Maybe you don't have one yet ? Did you ever customized / installed
something else with emacs ?

Let's try with emacs : open ~/.emacs (C-x C-f ~/.emacs) the '~' sign
stands for your home directory. If the file exist Emacs will open it,
else it will create a new file.

And the ~ directory location depends on your windows system and the
environment : Emacs (and some other programs too) looks for the $HOME
environment variable.

If it is not defined, your ~ directory will probably be c:\ or
c:\documents and settings\your account\ 

To define the $HOME variable, look into c:\autoexec.bat for the 95/98/Me
family and add line with a SET HOME=path\of\your\choice

To define that variable with NT4/W2k/XP, look into the system icon in
the control panel, there is a button that lets you define the
environment.

Once the variable set you might have to reboot (95/98/Me) or simply
restart Emacs.

And as said Bastien : il y a un groupe *français* pour Emacs
(fr.comp.applications.emacs) ;o)

HTH.
