Determine home directory during install

I've noticed that when I install cygwin fresh on a new machine, my
home directory seems to change location.  Sometimes it's in
C:/cygwin/home/[user], but on this machine for some reason its in
C:/Documents and Settings/[user].

How does the installer determine where to put it?  I have admin rights
and access to create directories.  The only difference with this
machine is that it's on a domain.  The other machines I use are
standalone (like at home).

Thanks.
