As far as I undrestand this "C:/Documents and Settings/..."
is not hard-wired into Maxima. This is curren user
home dir and is probably derived from HOMEDRIVE and
HOMEPATH environment variables (but I can't readily
find which part of code is responsible for that).
This is true for xmaxima but not for console
maxima.bat - the thing worth fixing for forthcoming
Windows Maxima builds.
