Yes this is true, as APPDATA is almost always inside the user profile
and will get copied around during domain logins.  Thus the users 
settings for bazaar will be the same no matter what computer in the
domain the user happened to sit down at that day.

I believe the default "out of the box" starting location for cmd.exe
is %HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH% if it exists.  In general the env variable
%HOME% is not defined on windows.  If it's there, some application
needed it, or the end user set it on their own.
