Well, it works now, but not like I wanted.
First wat did not work:
Setting a win environment variable MAVEN_OPTS to:
-Duser.home="%USERPROFILE%"
or
-Duser.home=%USERPROFILE%

What did work was setting it to:
-Duser.home="C:\documents and settings\NLIWER"

It will be just a part of setting up the workspace I guess...

That actually explains the problem I guess..
I googled and found this:

Quote: "There's a really annoying 
bug<http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4787931>in the Java virtual 
machine on Windows: the Java
*user.home* system property is based on the location of the Windows
Desktop folder not the Windows USERPROFILE variable."

So I tried
set MAVEN_OPTS -Duser.home="%USERPROFILE%"

But that does not seem to work yet. Note, I tried it both with and without
the ""
It is still pointing to c:\WinNT\.m2
