Error description

• On Windows with roaming profile, synergy tries to write the user
  properties file into an incorrect location.
  
  Synergy uses java system property 'user.home' to decide the
  ccm.user.preferences location. In normal windows environment
  this property gives the 'C:\Users\?current logging user? '.
  
  But here it is getting Administrator home directory.
