I guess you have a slightly non-standard box.  Usually, %ProgramFiles%
points to
C:\Program Files

Yeah, currently it's hard-coded to C:/Program Files.  Still trying to
learn how to reference/use environment variables from the site-start.el.

Yes.
Emacs -> Global site-lisp
Emacs-21.3 -> standard Emacs install dir
setup -> EmacsSetupHelper bits (includes gnuclient)
