%USERPROFILE% is not defined on some versions of Windows, and it is not 
one of the standard locations available through system calls. No other 
Windows application writes directly in this directory, as there are 
standard subdirectories for various purposes (available through system 
calls) such as storing Application Data, the user's documents, etc. 
Application Data seemed the most appropriate of these for Emacs' config 
files and the .emacs.d directory.
