That check is not really useful, though.
You need to look at the actual environment constructed for a user
process, at run-time. About the easiest is to start a Windows command
shell (Start->Run "cmd") and look at the output of the "set" command.
In cases of looking for names starting with some prefix, like here, you
can narrow down the search:
set HOME
