In my own scripts for Windows, I use USERPROFILE, usually something
like <drive>:\Documents and Settings\<user name>

This is some sort of read-only registry variable, and is set
automatically as an environment variable in a command prompt window.

It is available both under Windows 2000 and Windows XP, but
apparently not under earlier versions.
