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
