The case found by the original poster is when $HOME is not set in the 
environment. In Emacs 22 we default to the user specific APPDATA system 
directory, but we first check that C:\.emacs and C:\_emacs do not exist, 
in case the user used a previous version of  Emacs that defaulted to 
C:\. The original poster had created C:\.emacs.d\init.el, but we do not 
check for this file when deciding whether to default to the old HOME 
location, since it is only supported since Emacs 22.
