Where can I find my .emacs file for Emacs running on Windows?

I am a total newbie to emacs.

I know I can edit a configuration file to change the behavior of my emacs editor and customize it for python editing. but I can't seem to find it.

Any help would be appreciated.

  • It is a duplicate, and dependent on how emacs was installed. Cygwin will mimic a *nix setup, handling your usage dot-files in your `C:\Users\` directory or in `C:\cygwin\home\` depending on how you configured your installation. – michael.bartnett Dec 16 '11 at 08:19

I'm on windows XP. But inside emacs i can open it using:

 C-x C-f  ~/.emacs

or

 C-x C-f  ~/.emacs.d/init.el

You then can also see to what ~ autocompletes to locate it.

I think GNU Emacs puts it in the Documents folder '_emacs'. I'm not at a Win 7 box right now to double check.
