Gabriel Genellina <gagsl-...@yahoo.com.ar> added the comment:

%HOME% isn't set by Windows.
%HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH% points to the user's home directory.
%USERPROFILE% is where the user's profile is stored, and may or may not 
be the same as his home directory.

%HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH% should be used then, defaulting to %USERPROFILE% 
only when those variables are not set (that's unlikely, but could 
happen e.g. with the runas command)
