On Windows, it could either be part of ~/vimfiles/filetype.vim, after

if exists("did_load_filetypes")
finish
endif

and possibly together with other user-defined filetype detection
autocommands (BTW do not set that did_load_filetypes variable, it is set
by $VIMRUNTYME/filetype.vim), or else it could be all of
~/vimfiles/ftdetect/text.vim (with paths shown as they could be used in
Vim but not in other Windows programs). Or you could replace ~/vimfiles/
by $VIM/vimfiles/ in either of these paths if you wanted these
customizations to apply to all users (all login names) on your computer.

See
:help new-filetype

See also
:help 'runtimepath'

about the different default paths on Windows ("PC") vs. Unix/Linux/OSX
("Unix").

Best regards,
Tony.
