 Utility Belt gives you a ton of new options and techniques in IRB. (You may find yourself putting its language patches in actual projects as well.) The way to use Utility Belt is to edit, or create, your .irbrc file. This is analogous to a Unix .bashrc, .tcshrc, .profile, or similar file.
 
-Windows users have a couple options. The easiest is to define an environment variable called IRBRC and set it to the full path of your irbrc (e.g. "C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\_irbrc"). Presto, .irbrc for Windows. If you've already got HOME defined as an env var, you may be able to get away with just calling the file "irbrc". It's also technically possible on at least some versions of Windows to actually name your file .irbrc, you just have to get around the limitations imposed by Windows Explorer.

Presto, .irbrc for Windows. You could also set your HOME-Variable to any directory you want and put your ".irbrc" in there. (It needs to be called ".irbrc", "_irbrc" won't work). Since Windows Explorer won't let you create a file with a dot in the beginning, use any text editor (Notepad will do just fine) and "Save As" to save it as ".irbrc". (The quotation marks make the magic happen.) We don't recommend this if you're also using MSYS or Cygwin, as they use the same variable for their own purposes.
