since the "user.home" property is defined by the Java virtual machine -to be your home directory. This technique is more appropriate for Unix than -Windows since the notion of a home directory doesn't exist on Windows. On the -JVM that I tested, the home directory on Windows is "C:\". Different JVM -implementations may use other values for the home directory on Windows.
