I unpacked a pre-compiled version of Emacs 24.3 on my Windows machine, but =
I have no idea on where to create a .emacs for customizing Emacs. I saw on =

 Emacs tries to find the .emacs file, but I'm pretty sure that only works o=
n GNU/Linux and/or Mac OS X, not Windows. Can someone help me with this iss=
ue?
