I use TRAMP on windows, here's what I have in my .emacs

(require 'tramp)
(setq tramp-auto-save-directory "c:\\tmp")
(setq tramp-default-method "plink")
(setq tramp-default-user "username"
      tramp-default-host "xx.xx.xx.xx")
 (add-to-list  'file-coding-system-alist
               `(,tramp-file-name-regexp . raw-text-unix))


Hope that helps.
