The loading procedure is
site-start.el
~/.emacs (or ~/_emacs as a fallback)
default.el
This allows users to make settings in .emacs that affect things in
default.el. If you are setting up default.el for a site, you should
enclose things in blocks as follows, to allow users to control what is
loaded through customize:
(defcustom site-default-use-gnuserv t
"*Non-nil will enable gnuclient/gnudoit.
Changes will take effect next time Emacs is started.
This allows external interaction with a running Emacs.
Default is off, since gnuserv requires the gnuserv/gnuclient/gnudoit
binaries."

(condition-case ()

In a recent CVS Emacs, HOME defaults to your AppData directory if
C:\.emacs does not already exist.
