Re: how can I stop Windows setting HOME?

I didn't mean that %HOMEDRIVE% and %HOMEPATH% are not set (not sure if you
think that's what I meant) -- those two plus %HOME% all show up in
System->Advanced->Environment Variables. The first two are normal Windows
vars, and it's only %HOME% I'm trying to eliminate.

Yep, that's what I meant too.


If %HOME% is deleted from System->Advanced->Environment Variables it
automagically reappears after a reboot, presumably courtesy of MKS but it's
not obvious how it's restored nor how to get rid of it.

Hm, I hadn't noticed that myself but then again I'm not trying to run Cygwin on the machines which have MKS (unfortunately). Beyond uninstalling MKS, I don't know what would help here either. I'm not a MKS guru. ;-)
