You would not see your username in that field. The variable %USERPROFILE% equals "C:\Documents and Settings\UserName" in XP and "C:\Users\UserName" in Windows 7.
You can see this by opening a command prompt and typing
if you want to know who is logged on just type

Yeah, that's just a variable that gets replaced with the name of whoever *is* logged in. It means nothing to you, least of all that you're logged in as a system account. Forget it.
