Re: Windows XP does not allow folders named .xemacs

XP does allow files with a beginning dot. It can be tricky to create them though. As it seems save-options also require that the .xemacs folder already is available. So the trick is to create the folder "~/.xemacs" first. One way to do that is to do it with XEmacs itself together with dired (if you have dired package installed). Open your home folder with dired and use dired-create-directory, bound to the char '+', in dired-mode, to create the .xemacs-folder.
