I cannot get Capture to work=2E

Summary:
I have successfully installed and used emacs on my laptop, and am happily =
using Org mode=2E
I cannot get Capture to work=2E I have edited my =2Eemacs file, but I am g=
etting an error when starting emacs, and C-c c does not work=2E

Detail:
I have installed=20

24=2E3=2E1 (i386-mingw-nt6=2E1=2E7601) of 2013-03-17 on MARVIN on my lapto=
p running Windows XP (Japanese)=2E

Org-mode works=2E

I edited my =2Eemacs file per =2E=2E=2E/manual/Setting-up-capture=2Ehtml#S=
etting-up-capture
by adding

(setq org-default-notes-file (concat org-directory "/notes=2Eorg"))
     (define-key global-map "\C-cc" 'org-capture)

Now, when I start emacs normally, I get the warning:

=2E=2E=2E: An error occurred while loading `c:/home/=2Eemacs':

Symbol's value as variable is void: org-directory

To ensure normal operation=2E=2E=2E

I restarted emacs by running=20

runemacs=2Eexe --debug-init

and got the foolowing Backtrace:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (void-variable org-directory)
  (concat org-directory "/notes=2Eorg")
  (setq org-default-notes-file (concat org-directory "/notes=2Eorg"))
  eval-buffer(#<buffer  *load*> nil "c:/home/=2Eemacs" nil t)  ; Reading a=
t buffer position 1168
  load-with-code-conversion("c:/home/=2Eemacs" "c:/home/=2Eemacs" t t)
  load("~/=2Eemacs" t t)
  #[0 "=08\205\262 (and a lot of other code conversions that don't seem to=
 copy and paste)

I have referred to the org manual, and read the FAQ=2E I do not see this p=
roblem addressed=2E I hope you can help me=2E

Why is the variable org-directory void?
Do I need to edit some file other than =2Eemacs?
Is there something else I should do?
