Emacs works fine on Windows without the HOME environment variable set if you
simply use the preferred location for the .emacs file on Windows which is in
the Application Data directory.  It is only when you attempt to force Emacs
to use c:\ as home by placing the .emacs file in the deprecated location
c:\.emacs that you have problems.  If you do this you must either set the
HOME environment variable to c:\ or use the -f {server_file_name} argument
when calling emacsclient to get the Emacs server/emacsclient functionality
to work correctly.
