Nuke needs a place to store user preferences. The user's home directory is
pretty much the only place that makes sense for this, and it does so
automatically.
The real question is why your home directory is on a server hundreds of miles
away from where you are located. You should definitely take that up with your
IT department.

Subject: Re: [Nuke-python] Re: [Nuke-users] keep accessing a network drive
for.nuke (slow UI load up)
After setting the NUKE_PATH to a local directory and pointing all gizmos &
scripts to the same local path in the init.py , I was able to load the UI
faster in around 26 seconds.
The only thing Nuke will read from this network drive (H:/.nuke) is the
uistate.ini.
I couldn't find any hint or environment variables that force Nuke to search
this network directory which is mapped to a server hundred miles away from
where I am located. Before I sort this out with IT, is there a way to force
Nuke NOT to search or skip a particular path during UI loading?
Thanks,
Jason

Hi Jason
Did setting the NUKE_PATH to a local directory not work? You should be able
to set it local and then move most gizmos, python & tcl scripts from your .nuke
to the local folder. The only thing you can't get around is the saving of
preferences and other nuke specific config files like folder.nk,
preferences.nk, recent_files and uistate.ini.

Hi all,
At work, Nuke will load gizmos and stuff from the .nuke folder from a uber
slow network drive which slows down the UI load time significantly. Even I
delete the .nuke folder there, Nuke will create it again next start-up.
OS: Windows 7
Tried setting environment variable NUKE_PATH to a local directory.
Tried in init.py settubg all gizmos and plug-ins loading path to a local
directory
Tried to echo %HOME% and %USERPROFILE% in command line and only the
%USERPROFILE% return the local directory on C drive.
Basically I couldn't find why and how Nuke go find this network drive as
the HOME directory for .nuke??
I talked to IT and he said the network drive is set to the "home drive" for
everyone and cannot be un-mapped (only the drive letter can be changed).
Is there a way to have full control of how Nuke search and create the .nuke
folder to user specified directory?
Thanks!
Jason H.
