    PyPE only tries to access paths/drives that are provided by os.path.expanduser('~'), os.environ['HOME'], os.environ['USERPROFILE'] or a combination of os.environ['HOMEDRIVE'] and os.environ['HOMEPATH']. I have moved it's use of 'HOME' until after the Windows-based 'USERPROFILE', and 'HOMEDRIVE'/'HOMEPATH' options.

    It seems that sometimes Windows fails to offer a decent result for os.path.expanduser('~'), and some software can/will set 'HOME' to some insane value (this can happen with cygwin, or some cygwin-compiled tools).

    This fix will be in PyPE 2.8.7 when it is released.
