I can't open it in emacs due to the error from the bad coding system. I can't find the .el file using either cygwin or windows. I tried reinstalling but predictably that didn't work. Is there any way that I can either find and delete this init file or is there any way I can load using the -q option through windows? I'm not using the command line since my cygwin install doesn't seem to like the tar.gz file that I tried to use before giving up and getting the windows .zip.
