I tried copying the contents into default.el (and placed it in the same directory as my site-lisp.el) but it doesn't seem to run from there either. No much in it - just some code to turn off the annoying tool-bar when Emacs comes up (why a tool-bar meant for people with a mouse fixation is included as the default behaviour for an editor like Emacs is beyond me - let the people who need mice set it up if that is what they want! Don't force the rest of us to keep finding ways to turn it off!). Just for the hell of it, I copied the default.el into c:/emacs/site-lisp - and Emacs appears to run it from that location - which is NOT where I want my personal customisations to reside! Nothing else has changed i.e. my HOME directory prior to starting Emacs is still pointing to where the site-start.el/default.el files are located. I did a quick scan of NEWS and Changelog but can't find anything relevant there (not that I wanted to spend anymore than 30 seconds looking). Am I to assume this is an unexpected feature i.e. bug in this release?
