Installation of SLIME says:

Nice. But, where do I find .emacs on Windows? :-)
The funny part is I already instaled SLIME on Windows machine and I
remember it was straightforward and easy...

That's right. That way the straightforward and easy way of instaling the
SLIME :-) Thanks.

Short answer: C-x C-f ~/.emacs RET
Long answer: You don't care, let emacs find it for you!

Windows XPs User-Home might be around C:\Documents and

Use the HOME environment variable.

Add HOME with whatever folder you want. Emacs and Slime will store
.emacs and other files there.
As I recall Emacs wants the folder to be listed with the *nix style
forward-slashes / instead of windows style backslashes \ but you can
experiment with that. Completions and paths work much better if you use
a folder path without spaces in the folder names, e.g.
c:/lispbox/lisp/this-folder/ rather than c:/Program Files/lispbox/

I haven't used GNU emacs in years, but xemacs has a nice menu option to
edit the init file. If Emacs also has this functionality (and I can't
imagine that it wouldn't), just use that and don't worry about where it
is.

I had the same problem. I think Ari Johnson has the answer. I found
that using _emacs instead of .emacs worked fine.
Open a DOS window and type %HOMEPATH%. Put a text file called _emacs
in that directory.
