Hello,
where is the HOME directory of a user configured for Cygwin 1.5.25 used
in a Windows XP Prof. environment?
Reason for this question:
I observed, that the same Cygwin version on different PC's map the
directory /home/<user> on different directories.
On some PC's /home/<user> maps to the Windows directory represented by
%USERPROFILE% in a Windows console (and there is no
%ProgramFiles%\Cygwin\home directory available, although Cygwin is in
%ProgramFiles%\Cygwin),
on others to %ProgramFiles%\Cygwin\home\<user>.
What's the reason for these different locations/mappings of the user
home directory in Cygwin?
