You CAN change the default location of "Document and Settings" folder. Takes
all of 30 minutes to google, download and make a new ISO image for future
installations.
My regular Windows XP install put user profiles into C:\Users\ nowadays.

P.S.
I hope you've caught the other branch of the discussion, about the pre-set
$HOME and implications of its existence.
