Dear Eli Zaretskii, 1) I log on as Administrator because I am alone and the machine is in an industrial context ;-) 2) I already have created the .emacs.d directory myself. According to stackoverflow, in the security tab, I deleted the Administrators group. Not better. The directory contains has two subdirectories, empty, called server and auto-save-list. I noted that, when I start emacs, a directory .emacs.d, empty, is created in .../emacs/bin/ !! 3) I added in .emacs the patch: (require 'server) (when (and (= emacs-major-version 23) (= emacs-minor-version 1) (equal window-system 'w32)) (defun server-ensure-safe-dir (dir) "Noop" t))
All these points don't fix the problem !
