On my machine, it's the same as %USERPROFILE%. Note that applications should not be (for example) storing configuration files in this "home directory". They should be in %HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%\Application Settings or in %HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%\Local Settings\Application Settings, just as an example. That's all I meant - there's a whole defined tree of special-purpose directories under the "home directory" that don't exist in UNIX.
