Hi,
I'm becoming crazy.
I' m unable to reach that file on my emacs-bin-w64-20151110-9145e79
installation on a win 7 64 bit pc.

I read all the documentation about, googles everythings...but I'm unable to
reach it.

Do someone can help me?

TIA

Renato

Did you look at this:

https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/efaq-w32/Location-of-init-file.html

?

However, don't necessarily expect to find .emacs in any of those
places.  If it is not already there, just create it somewhere emacs will
find it (see above).

I didn't get to this in time, but would have suggested the same. Using
both Linux and Win7, it's quite frustrating figuring out the various
Windows definitions of "home."

I use the same trick, by doing C-x C-f ~/ and then pressing TAB
repeatedly. If that's not enough, I've opened up a File Explorer to
try and follow along, doing ~/.. TAB (looking at the parent dir). On
my system, this ends up being something in C:\Users\Username\AppData\
and I can't recall which (using Linux at the moment), Local or Roaming
perhaps...

Glad you found it.
