I can't find any config file to setup my home directory, becuse Oxygen determines it incorrectly.

Hello,

<oXygen/> tries to access the user home directory corresponding to the user logged on the machine and it cannot do that on some Windows computers because the Java virtual machine determines the home directory incorrectly due to a bug in the JVM that is still not solved by Sun Microsystems. You should set the value of the user.home property, for example to the directory C:\Documents and Settings\temp for which the user must have write permission in one of the following two ways:

1. If you start <oXygen/> from the Start menu shortcut you have to set the user.home property in the C:\Program Files\Oxygen 7.1\oxygen7.1.ini file, the line "Virtual Machine Parameters":

Virtual Machine Parameters=-Xmx40P -Dcom.oxygenxml.splash=false -Duser.home="C:\Documents and Settings\temp"

2. If you start <oXygen/> with the C:\Program Files\Oxygen 7.1\oxygen.bat script you have to set the user.home property on the line with the java command:

java -Xmx256m -Duser.home="C:\Documents and Settings\temp" -cp %CP% ro.sync.exml.Oxygen %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7
