Home Environment

[Sperry Russ]

Hello,

I am a beginner in programming and to python. I am using it to learn programming. I am using Windows 2000 Pro. I installed Python 2.3.1 with the installer which installed it to: C:\Python23. When I run a script in Idle I get the following warning:

Warning: HOME environment variable points to
%USERPROFILE%
but the path does not exist.

What should I do to fix this?

Thanks,
Sperry

Do you hsve a home directory? I don't believe 2000 creates one by default
when creating a new user. You could either echo %userprofile% to see where
it thinks your home is, and create it, or just create one and set HOME to
point to it.
