[h-e-w] wrong location for init.el |

Hello,
I'm very new to Emacs and am sorry if I'm asking a very basic question. I'm
helping a professor configure the Emacs settings on some classroom computers
and are using XEmacs 21.4.22. We have a .xemacs folder with init.el, and a
.emacs file set up for all users in their C:\users\username directory.
There's also a HOME environment variable set to %USERPROFILE% so it knows to
look there.
When I log in, XEmacs looks in my C:\users\username directory for the
init.el file and everything loads fine.
On the same computer, when the professor logs in, it looks in his network
drive (U: drive) for the init.el file. His profile is set up the same way
as mine, with the same init.el and .emacs file. I can't figure out what is
telling it to look in that directory. He does have a .xemacs folder in his
U drive. If we disconnect his U drive as soon as we log in, then launch
XEmacs, it still tries to look in that directory and gives a warning that it
can't load the init file.
I read that site-start.el starts before init.el, but it only contains these
lines.
;;; Lines added by XEmacs_Setup
(setq package-get-package-index-file-location "C:/Program Files/XEmacs")
(setq package-get-remote '("ftp.xemacs.org" "pub/xemacs/packages"))
(setq efs-ftp-program-name "C:/Windows/system32/ftp.exe")
;;; End of XEmacs_Setup addition
Can anyone shed some light as to which file could be telling XEmacs to look
in his network directory?
