If an application creates other files that it wants to store on a per-user basis, it should place them in the directory specified by the HOMEPATH environment variable. This directory will be different for each user, if so specified by an administrator, via the User Manager administrative tool

The message above indicates that to change HOMEPATH I use the "User Manager administrative tool". I have looked and looked and cannot find a place that has a place to modify the HOMEPATH

How do I get to the User Manager administrative tool

thanks, Jim

Exactly where did you find the above information?

In the Win32 Programmer’s Reference, it is discussed in the Remarks section for the GetWindowsDirectory function.
Remarks

The Windows directory is the directory where an application should store initialization and help files. If the user is running a shared version of Windows, the Windows directory is guaranteed to be private for each user.
If an application creates other files that it wants to store on a per-user basis, it should place them in the directory specified by the HOMEPATH environment variable. This directory will be different for each user, if so specified by an administrator, via the User Manager administrative tool. HOMEPATH always specifies either the user's home directory, which is guaranteed to be private for each user, or a default directory (for example, C:\USERS\DEFAULT) where the user will have all access.
