It finds it via the WGETRC environment variable.
Here's how I do it using two files:
A batch file with these 4 lines (download.bat):

SET WGETRC=c:\path\to\wgetrc\file\wgetrc.txt
c:
cd \path\to\wgetrc\executable
wget "http://abc.xyz.com/something.html";

And the wgetrc.txt file where I put all options (in 
c:\path\to\wgetrc\file\wgetrc.txt)

That's listed in the last line of download.bat - see above.  Just run 
download.bat.

You can have several different wgetrc,.txt config files for different 
wget sessions running simultaneously.
