how to tell emacs where my .emacs file is

how to tell emacs where my .emacs file is

[Eklund.Christopher]

I'm using emacs 21.3 on WindowsXP, and I can't print.

I noticed when I change the PS Printer Name Option in Customization,
that emacs can't save an output file -- "permission denied".   (I don't
have administrative privileges to write to the C: drive.)  Assuming this
is why I can't print, how do I tell emacs to put any files in folder
D:\chris ?

Set the environment variable HOME ($HOME?  %HOME%?  I think you know
what I mean) to D:\chris.  Then start Emacs under this setting.
