Sean MacLennan replied with an easier solution that I can avoid using Explorer
to create the directory and instead use the DOS prompt and mkdir to create it.
That was easy.
Thanks for your reply.

Inside XEmacs, evaluating the following works for me:
(make-directory "~/.xemacs")
Does that work for you?
