under Windows Vista writing to the C:/ directory is restricted, and
Emacs 21.3.1 got errors trying to save .emacs-places and .emacs.

A solution to this is to define an environment variable HOME with the
value /users/MYNAME. Then emacs looks in this directory
for .emacs, .emacs-places, etc.

to define an environment variable go to System Control Panel, Advanced
System Settings.
