USER-HOMEDIR-PATHNAME should tell you where "home" is:

  * (user-homedir-pathname)
  #P"C:\\Documents and Settings\\Luís\\"

Notice that it returns different values depending on whether you're
running it from Emacs, Cygwin, MSYS, cmd.exe, etc, because it first
looks for the HOME environment variable first (which is set by Emacs,
Cygwin, etc, but not necessarily set system-wide) and only then through
SHGetFolderPath(CSIDL_PROFILE) which should return something like what
you see in the example above.
