You might want to set your HOME or HOMEDIR environment vars, as I believe they control where those files get stored and aren't set up on Win by default (in some cases, not sure). > > I'm storing a lot of project specific code in my c:/.emacs and I would like > to put it under version control.

Doesn't have to be in it's own repository, nor even it's own module, but for simplicity you might want to keep it in a subdir of the project. I don't know though if you can directly checkout a sandbox to the root of a drive, I think it is always in a subdirectory of the current directory. I suppose you could manually move the CVS dir and the individual file you want, but I'd think setting HOME environment var is a better idea overall. -- Glen Starrett
