I just downloaded Emacs-23-CvsP090630-EmacsW32-1.58.exe yesterday and noted
the following peculiarity:

If custom-file is undefined, then EmacsW32 generates a .emacs file at
"%USERPROFILE%\Application Data"; however, if I use dired to view
"%USERPROFILE%", then:

   1. every attempt to visit the "Application Data" directory results in
   dired visiting %HOME%.
   2. every attempt to "find-file" "%USERPROFILE%\Application Data\.emacs"
   results in %HOME%\.emacs getting opened.

Presumably one of the conditions of this problem is that %HOME% is different
from "%USERPROFILE%\Application Data."

Is this peculiar behavior a bug or a feature?
