I think some further evidence that the OP may be on the wrong track is
that according to the emacs info pages, the site-startup.el file is
loaded BEFORE the users .emacs file
,---- From The Init File, `~/.emacs' Info Node
| Your site may also have a "site startup file"; this is named
| `site-start.el', if it exists. Like `default.el', Emacs finds this
| file via the standard search path for Lisp libraries. Emacs loads this
| library before it loads your init file. To inhibit loading of this
| library, use the option `-no-site-file'. *Note Initial Options::.
