Sorry, as long as this is a Windows-specific issue, I don't have any
motivation to go to that length.

That's another sign of what I said earlier: there's no home directory
on Windows. Yet another candidate is "My Documents" (e.g., bzr uses
it). But none of them is really for the user, according to Windows
guidelines.

Yes. Each user is the owner of her %APPDATA%, and has full access
rights. That directory is for applications to put their per-user
data.
