No. By default, Emacs just loads ~/.emacs.d/init.el /or/ ~/.emacs. Everything else can be arranged from there. For example, to split out the custom.el file (where customize writes its stuff), I have those two lines in my ~/.emacs.d/init.el: (setq custom-file "~/.emacs.d/custom.el") (load custom-file) Then, I have a subdirectory of ~/.emacs.d (concretely: ~/.emacs.d/lisp) where I keep all my local little things I make myself. To be able to easily load those without always naming the full path, I have in my ~/.emacs.d/init.el: (add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/lisp") And so on. Still I propose you start with an empty init file. Once you find a thing you /want/ your Emacs to do always at start, you can start populating your ~/.emacs or ~/.emacs.d/init.el (each approach has some up- and downsides, but that's not so important: you'll find out and you'll be able to switch easily).
