Subject: running emacs on a usb disk

Hello,
I am a kind of new emacs user, and I have been experimenting with trying to run emacs standalone from a USB flash drive on Windows XP. Is it possible to make emacs load my .emacs file from a relative path on the USB disk, rather than looking in Windows' PATH or registry settings? Right now emacs looks for everything in C:\. I have tried reading through the user manual and some online resources, but I didn't see anything that I thought directly applied to this.
Thanks for any help you can give, I really appreciate it.
Bill
