So, my guess is that emacs is mangling your HOME environment variable.
That appears to be confirmed by the emacs documentation here:
http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/General-Variables.html#General-Variables
I know, it's bad form to follow up to my own email, but here's a more
concrete reference stating that emacs will set HOME when emacs
starts:
http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Windows-HOME.html
"[Wherever Emacs finds your .emacs file], Emacs sets the value of the
HOME environment variable to point to it, and it will use that
location for other files and directories it normally creates in the
user's home directory. "
I see well that explains everything, because I did set up my emacs
configuration there..
Anyway since any application can change the home I probably will only
rely on HOMEPATH,
which seems a safer approach..
