HOME environment setting honoured in Windows 7 and shouldn't — at Initial Version

Description
In a windows 7 x86_64 (but probably this bug is common to all windows versions) where the "HOME" environment variable is set (for example after installing msys) Virtualbox honours it by trying to store all the new virtual disks and configurations there. This may lead to confusion.
I understand VirtualBox should just ignore the variable and use the usual "c:\Users\..." directory for storing data.
