So you now have some useful Windows info.

In short you have to create your own ~/.emacs if you don't have one.
Emacs will read then read it at start-up.

It's such a plain and simple file, but don't call it ~/.emacs.txt !!!

It must be ~/.emacs (or $HOME/.emacs).

You can just copy and paste this if you like:

;; my ~/.emacs
;;
;; elsip (emacs lisp) uses semi-colons for comments

(add-to-list 'load-path "/home/jeessy/elisp") ;change according to Windows'
                                              ;requirements

(autoload 'css-mode "css-mode" "CSS editing mode" t nil) ;"css-mode" corresponds
                                                         ;to the filename

(global-font-lock-mode 1) ;this will ensure syntax highlighting works

;; end of your ~/.emacs
