My Windows username is Márton.
In one of the files loaded by my .emacs (neotree.el), I added this line:
(print load-file-name)
1. I start Emacs from the command line with no arguments.
2. I view the *Messages* buffer.
If the directory from which I launched Emacs has an accent in its path,
e.g. "D:\á\", this is printed:
"c:/Users/Márton/AppData/Roaming/.emacs.d/elpa/neotree-0.5.2/neotree.el"
But if it doesn't, e.g. "D:\a\", this is printed:
"c:/Users/Márton/AppData/Roaming/.emacs.d/elpa/neotree-0.5.2/neotree.el"
(This prevents the neotree package from loading images in the latter case.)
Please see also bug#25038, which seems related.
