I've noticed the discussion about those changes, but I don't fully 
understand the impact of them  (and hopefully I don't have to). But I 
don't think my problem argues against Corinna's changes because HOME 
does not exist in my Windows environment. HOMEDRIVE and HOMEPATH exist 
though. I suppose HOME is set by some scripts in /etc as the docs 
suggest.

Markus
