Thanks!  Unfortunately,

C-h v TeX-macro-global RET
C-h a TeX-macro-global RET
C-h d TeX-macro-global RET

all return no matches.  But I now managed to find the relevant section
in the AUCTeX manual.

What does "determined" mean?  In the customization buffer I can see
TeX-macro-global containing among other trees,

C:/Dokumente und Einstellungen/All Users/Anwendungsdaten/MiKTeX/2.5/tex/

So I guess AUCTeX communicates with MiKTeX at start up.  However, my
local tree

d:/localtexmf

is not covered by TeX-macro-global automatically.  Is this to prevent
AUCTeX from getting trouble with directories with no access permissions?
