I think CSIDL_APPDDATA is probably the way to go, but one of the heavy Windows hitters will know better than I do.
Now that I look at it, there are several places that are depending on getenv("HOME") or getenv("USERPROFILE") (on Windows) as the meaning of "home directory". In particular ~/.pgpass is sought there, and psql also uses get_home_path in a lot of places.
Seems like we should be consistent about this --- either we trust $HOME or we don't.
more fun. I just checked the environment of the postmaster service on a win2000 Pro system (using www.sysinternals.com's excellent Process Explorer tool, btw). HOME is not set. USERPROFILE is set to "C:\Documents and Settings\postgres"...
For services that are running as 'NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM', the profile is "C:\Documents and Settings\Default User" (and the USERDOMAIN and USERNAME aren't set at all)...
