This definitely isn't the easiest way to find out, it's probably more for the Jackie Chan fans. Install the following:
Windows XP Service Pack 2 Support Tools
Then run the following command:
whoami
(This command is available in later versions of Windows but you need to install the file above to use it in XP)

If you go to a command prompt and type set, you get a wealth of information. If note is the homepath variable. In an older machine that may or may not have had the profiles remapped, it tells you the current path in use.
There is also a lot of other information, including username and domain.
These are all system variables that can be individually "Echoed" as suggested above.
