from the prompt:

md c:\home
set HOME=c:\home

set won't last though.
To make it last, right click My Computer, select properties, hit the
advanced tab and edit enviroment variables.
Of course you may choose home elsewhere, but this is what I do.

for example to set home equal to windows default home (Windows 2000)

set HOME=%USERPROFILE%

again you'd have to edit enviroment variables to make it last.


DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO PERMANENTLY SET VARIABLES FROM COMMANDLINE?
