> Restores the definitions of the %HOMESHARE% and %HOMEPATH% environment
> variables to those used in Windows NT 4.0 and earlier.
>
> If you enable this policy, the system uses the Windows NT 4.0
> definitions. If you disable this policy or do not configure it, the
> system uses the new definitions designed for Windows 2000.
>
> Along with %HOMEDRIVE%, these variables specify the home directory of a
> user profile. The home directory is a persistent mapping of a drive
> letter on the local computer to a local or remote directory.
>
> By default, in Windows 2000, %HOMESHARE% stores the fully qualified path
> to the home directory (such as \\server\share\dir1\dir2\homedir). Users
> can access the home directory and any of its subdirectories from the home
> drive letter, but they cannot see or access its parent directories.
> %HOMEPATH% stores a final backslash and is included for compatibility
> with earlier systems.
>
> On Windows NT 4.0 and earlier, %HOMESHARE% stores only the network share
> (such as \\server\share). %HOMEPATH% stores the remainder of the fully
> qualified path to the home directory (such as \dir1\dir2\homedir). As a
> result, users can access any directory on the home share by using the
> home directory drive letter.
