It would not do the trick on my windows XP workstation here. Your
target environments may be different, of course. From a general
command prompt (cmd.exe) on my work machine, here's what you would
have to work with:
HOMEDRIVE=H:
HOMEPATH=\
HOMESHARE=\\server\share\userdirectory
USERPROFILE=C:\Documents and Settings\username
There is no HOME set here. So, what's the right home directory for me
on this PC? Depending on your opinion of "right" you could end up
with three different answers: "H:\", "\\server\share\userdirectory",
or "C:\Documents and Settings\username" all seem like valid candidates
to me. Just going by HOMEPATH isn't going to be helpful if I were to
run your code though.
Ok thanks, my environment is a bit different, but I'm not sure about
where this
thing should actually run...
So probably the only reliable choice is USERPROFILE?
From here I don't find any other alternatives:

I just would like to be able to write somewhere in a place that should
always exist,
why Windows you're so annoying :(?
