This part is correct.

Assuming you're using Amol Deshpande's zsh port, it will indeed read the
files \etc\zshenv, \etc\zshrc, etc. if you create a \etc directory on your
default drive (e.g. C:\etc).

It also reads $HOME\.zshenv, $HOME\.zshrc, etc., where HOME has to be set
in the environment by using the NT user account manager (use the option to
assign the user a home directory, don't just add HOME to the environment).
