User home folder
Finding out about the user's home folder, in which the folder ".freemind" typically resides:
In Windows: Run DOS console (Windows + R, followed by "cmd"), and type "echo %homepath%". To see the usual path to FreeMind home folder, type "echo %HOMEPATH%\.freemind". A related system variable is %userprofile%. However, Java may determine the value of "user.home" without the use of %homepath% and %userprofile%, relying instead on the location of user desktop as stated in Windows registry. Nevertheless, user desktop is usually located at the path "%homepath%\Desktop", so "echo %HOMEPATH%\.freemind" usually gives the correct location of FreeMind home folder. This is to be researched.
In Linux: Run a console and type "echo $HOME".
