The .emacs is the file that contains your customizations.
You're supposed to create it in your home directory.

On windows emacs uses c:\ as your home directory by default. If you
would like to use another directory you can set the environment
variable HOME to whatever directory you want. In windows 2000,
environment variables can be set by going in the control-panel, then
opening system, then clicking on the advanced tab, then choosing
environment variables.
