The case found by the original poster is when $HOME is not set in the
environment. In Emacs 22 we default to the user specific APPDATA system
directory, but we first check that C:\.emacs and C:\_emacs do not exist,
in case the user used a previous version of Emacs that defaulted to
C:\. The original poster had created C:\.emacs.d\init.el, but we do not
check for this file when deciding whether to default to the old HOME
location, since it is only supported since Emacs 22.
Perhaps Emacs should check for C:\.emacs.d\ also.
Why not?
Since it is a Windows-only issue, I leave that up to you.
