I have a vintage choice of directories in my D drive. My personal data organized in a well structured directory tree that has title cased verbose incase sensitive self descriptive catchy easy to read non abbreviated names guarantied non starting with a dot

D:\Documents
D:\Video
D:\Software
D:\Deskop

etc...

that's the drive I backup regularly...

now comes some Linux originated apps writing all kind of crazy different directories to my place. Needless to say I'm not pleased about this.

D:\.limewire

etc...

I've very basic Linux knowledge, I'm suspecting D:\ is exposed as my home dir or what's this dir is called and most Linux apps write to this dir in a subdir starting with a dot.

I wish more applications would ship zip xcopy style at least as option and would use locations within the app dir by default unless specified other. I wouldn't have to care my system gets trashed and I wouldn't have to reinstall and setup applications when I setup a new system

does anybody know how to change this home dir on Win XP systems?
