While configuring the HOME variable in the registry, at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\GNU\emacs, I noticed that having an empty HOME string value at this place causes emacs to crash at start. My emacs version is GNU Emacs 21.3.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600) of 2004-03-10 on NYAUMO Thanks for the great work on emacs ! Have a good day, Vincent
