Re: 21.0 beta41, cygwin32, ~init-file-user doesn't work.

Yes, because there is such a concept. There are HOMEDRIVE and HOMEPATH variables which specify it. In a well designed network environment, one can log in on any machine in a domain, and get the home directory automatically mapped ("mounted" in unix terms). The local system tkaes an unused drive letter, and maps user's home directory share to it. User's registry hive is also mapped from the domain controller, so user's personal settings are available. No, becuase in a domainless workstation setup home directory defaults to the root of the system drive. The first setup is good and trustworthy, we have a real home directory in normal sense. The second is just bogus. Kirill
