Put an .hgrc file into any of these directories (assuming your
Windows account is JoeDoe):

C:\Program Files\TortoiseHg\mercurial.ini
C:\Users\JoeDoe\mercurial.ini
C:\Users\JoeDoe\.hgrc

and the .hgrc file is similar to an .hgrc file on UNIX.  Here
is one derived from the one I use.  This one assumes you
have created a directory called c:\Users\JoeDoe\.hgext
but that is arbitrary and you can place your .py files
anywhere you like as long as you specify the path
correctly:

[extensions]
hgext.graphlog =
hgext.mq =
hgext.hgshelve = C:\Users\JoeDoe\.hgext\hgshelve.py
hgext.rcpath = C:\Users\JoeDoe\.hgext\rcpath.py
hgext.hello = C:\Users\JoeDoe\.hgext\hello.py


[ui]
username = JoeDoe at JoeDoe-PC
style = compact
editor = gvim

[hooks]
precommit.username =
