Your .emacs or _emacs file goes into your %HOME% (not HOMEPATH) 
directory. If this does not exist, then w32 uses C:\

You must create your .emacs yourself. I just announced EMacro
<url: http://emacro.sf.net/ > on gnu.emacs.sources, it is one of several 
which you can choose from, at <url: http://www.dotemacs.de/ >

If you like EMacro, I can always use an Italian translation of the 
Install Documentation or Install Script. ;)
