Just do the following:
C-x C-f ~/.emacs
Now, make your changes.
Now type, C-x C-s
Vhalla, you have a .emacs started. (ie, ~ stands for HOME).
Now, if you want to know where that is, while in your .emacs do
C-x d RET.
Whatever directory you are sitting in is your HOME. My guess is
that it is at your root, or c:/
