title: home directory and .emacs file in Windows 7
body: <p>I installed emacs 23.3.1 in c:/emacs-23.3.
  Following the hints in <a href="http://www.pchristensen.com/blog/articles/installing-sbcl-emacs-and-slime-on-windows-xp/">this page</a>, I updated the site-start.el to set HOME environment variable. </p>
  
  <pre><code>(setenv "HOME" "c:/users/USER/emacs")
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And I made c:/users/USER/.emacs (like I did in unix/mac) to write the code for using slime, but it doesn't seem to start slime correctly. </p>
  
  <p>Is this a correct way of setting emacs in Windows 7? Where do I put the .emacs file?</p>
