Are these new files you create with Emacs, or are these existing
files you edit?

If the latter, Emacs preserves their original end-of-line format; if
they originally had Unix-style linefeeds, Emacs will save the edited
file with the same end-of-line format.

If these are new files created by Emacs, it's probably something in
your customization, as by default Emacs on Windows creates files with
Windows-style CR-LF pairs at the end of each line.  Try invoking Emacs
with "emacs -q" and see if that helps; if it does, look inside your
.emacs (or _emacs) init file for some customization that causes this.
Things to watch for are setting of the defaults for files'
coding-system and use of untranslated-filesystem feature.
