When I run git config under git cmd, all is well. however when I run in in plain old Windows cmd, it can't find .gitconfig. I can't changes the env vars Home, Homedrive or Homepath since those are set by our corporate ad team.
I'd like to know why git cmd works but git from windows cmd doesn't and what i can do about it. See screenshot:

I'm guessing your home folder in the git bash is a different folders than %HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH% in the Windows cmd prompt. Echo the two paths and compare them.

Interesting, The git-cmd has HOME env var set as the concatenation of HOMEDIR and HOMEPATH. When I set that, all was well. OTOH, git is complaining about the wrong thing, which is misleading. OTOOH, it should probably point at %USERPROFILE% since that is local, and my other location is network, which would of course fail if I was on the road.
