A read through of the emacs-windows.faq file states that HOME works, but
windows 7 at least isn't set up for emacs to find its .emacs file and some
registry key editing is needed. I'll find out how well the approach
shared earlier on this list works when I have something to add to the
.emacs I created. If it shows up as I start emacs, then this approach has
saved me registry key editing and that will be a good thing.
