On Windows, HOME is moved. Get over it; it's a good idea (or so > it seems). A small follow-up, in case anyone is following this. Since I was using =2D --debug-init yesterday, I was always starting Emacs from the command line in bash.=20=20 Today I started Emacs from a (Windows) desktop shortcut, and it failed. I tried --debug-init again, and it worked. After a bit of puzzling, it was clear: when Emacs is started from bash, HOME is already defined. When I start it from a shortcut, it is undefined, and so Emacs tries to read .emacs from C:/. If you want both capabilities, you need to define HOME in Windows to be the same as Cygwin defines it. Just FYI.
