You do know that Rebol/View's %User.r and %Rebol.r are different from
Rebol/Core's %User.r and %Rebol.r, don't you? It sounds like you've got all
the rebol versions using the same versions of these files.

It's recommended to be put into autoexec.bat for Rebol/Core. If you haven't
provided it, then this is probably the reason why Rebol/Core works (because
it can't find it's home directory, and so _ignores_ %User.r and %Rebol.r.
Here's the entry from %setup.html from Rebol/Core:
On Windows 95+ systems, edit the C:\autoexec.bat file and add a line such
as:
set REBOL_HOME=c:\REBOL
I hope that helps!
