Adding this will cause the new Org to come before system supplied Org.
Of course, update the path for your machine.
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(add-to-list 'load-path "C:/path/to/org-mode/lisp")
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Please ensure you have "(require 'org-install)" and not "(require 'org)'
in your .emacs.

This should make all .org files open in Org mode.
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.org$" . org-mode))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Following should help bring agenda options with C-c a.
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(global-set-key "\C-ca" 'org-agenda)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Once you use the agenda command it will open required org files
automatically. You may also want to take a look at

Admin rights should not be necessary to use Emacs and Org mode.

Following article by John Weigley is what eased the eay for me.

I am afraid I did not find your .emacs file but the link cited above
will help you get started with one. I prefer to define an environment
variable "HOME" and keep my stuff under that. Emacs will also read
.emacs from the location if it can find the file there.

I would suggest skipping the make part for now. Everything should still
function without compiling. What you do not get is the info and HTML
documentation (that you can access online.)
