I'd like to hear from some of the users in that fraction. (I understand that you are one of them, but I never heard about such a place for .emacs.d, so it would be good to hear from others.) > 1 If %HOME% is defined, use it (current); > 2 If "emacs.d" is present in %UserProfile%, use it (new); > 3 Fallback to %AppData% (current). If indeed this is a popular choice, I see no reason not to support it. But please note that we have more fallbacks than just the 2 you mention, mostly for historical reasons.
