Can I store the .emacs file to other location?

Can I store the .emacs file to other location?

[Jack]

Hi, I am a newbie to emacs.

I use emacs on Windows 2000 pro box. The default location the .emacs file 
residing is C:\
I want to move the file to other place. How can I do?
Many thanks.

Regards.
Jack

Hi, this is a FAQ. The question "Where do I put my .emacs, (or _emacs), file?"
and many more Windoze related questions are answered in the GNU Emacs for
Windoze FAQ at "http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/windows/ntemacs.html".

There you can read that e.g. setting the HOME Environment to the directory where
you want to store your init file is one solution.

Hope this helps...

Toto
