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?
