+ Jan Brosius <jan.brosius@skynet.be>:

| In my home directory I have a folder named .emacs.d

Don't mess with that.  It's for emacs's own uses.

| Do I have to create a .emacs file myself?

That might be a good idea.  Emacs itself will help you, just type
C-x C-f .emacs and off you go.  Changes in .emacs don't take effect
until you restart emacs.
