There are no env variables with anything like a home directory.  Apparently
it's not "the windows way".  Probably the user's "home" is supposed to be
pulled
from the registry.  I did try setting $HOME in a command shell to my user
profile dir and then running ethereal from that shell, just to see if
it would behave like a unix app.  No dice.

Closest vars you get are $windir and $winbootdir, both set to c:\windows.
