Your shell expands ~ to your home directory. Your program will have to
do this manually (i.e. read the "HOME" environment variable).
Like Ido mentioned, ExpandFileName does this already. Perhaps the

No, this is an absolute path (pointing to the home directory). It only
needs expansion to give you this absolute path. It's just a placeholder
