Piece 'o cake. Just edit the 'dir' file that lives in the 'info'
directory of your NT Emacs installation. Here's an example line that
I added to mine to point to the bash info files:
 * Bash: (c:/gnu-win32/info/bash.info). The Bourne Again SHell.
Just follow the pattern substituting in the paths to where things live on
your file system and you should be all set.
BTW, if you invoke Emacs's info mode with a prefix argument
(e.g. using 'C-u C-h i'), Emacs will prompt you for the path/filename
of the info file you want to browse.
Hope this helps.
