Hello,

where is the HOME directory of a user configured for Cygwin 1.5.25 used in a 
Windows XP Prof. environment?

Reason for this question:
I observed, that the same Cygwin version on different PC's map the directory 
/home/<user> on different directories.
On some PC's /home/<user> maps to the Windows directory represented by 
%USERPROFILE% in a Windows console (and there is no 
%ProgramFiles%\Cygwin\home directory available, although Cygwin is in 
%ProgramFiles%\Cygwin),
on others to %ProgramFiles%\Cygwin\home\<user>.

What's the reason for these different locations/mappings of the user home 
directory in Cygwin?

Thomas Wiedmann
