On Windows XP (which the OP is using), when HOME is not set Emacs
defaults to %APPDATA%, as does emacsclient.c.

To be precise, the Emacs code (which is yours) use

  get_folder_path (NULL, CSIDL_APPDATA, NULL, 0, default_home);

while the less sofisticate emacsclient code does:

  getenv ("APPDATA")

but the results should match.

What I don't understand is why Ted's Emacs thinks that HOME points to
C:\. Emacs 22.1 running on XP should default to "C:\Documents and
Settings\User\Application Data" or somesuch.
