Fix Issue #60 can't write config file on Windows

Windows doesn't have a HOME environment variable. The config file ends up being written to the root of system drive, hence the need for admin rights. Windows does however define a USERPROFILE environment variable that points correctly to the logged in user's profile home folder where most Python programs store their settings. Tested on Windows 7 x64 and Windows 8 x64.
