> I unpacked a pre-compiled version of Emacs 24.3 on my Windows machine, but I have no idea on where to create a .emacs for customizing Emacs. I saw on the Find Init GNU Emacs manpage that the HOME environment variable is where Emacs tries to find the .emacs file, but I'm pretty sure that only works on GNU/Linux and/or Mac OS X, not Windows. Can someone help me with this issue?
You can define the HOME environmental variable in Windows, if you wish to do so. There are user environmental variables that can be defined, as well as system ones. For Windows XP Home, Control Panel, System, Environmental Variables is where you can define user environmental variables and/or change values of system environmental variables (use caution!).
