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. --------------040300070404060805020907 Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit CHENG Gao wrote:

Emacs ought to recognize ~/.emacs.d/init.el, on any system, when it does
not find .emacs.  If this does not work on Windows, it is a bug.
Could you confirm that that is what is happening to you?
    

I use ~/.emacs.d/init.el under M$ Windoze and MacOSX, thus I can put all
Emacs related setting files in one ./emacs.d/ file. I confirm this works
well under two OSes above mentioned.

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.
