Worked around this by setting HOME to be USERPROFILE before IDLE starts

Rather then change the system/user environment permanently. I edited the Idle script which the windows shortcut seems to run below.

C:\Python35\Lib\idlelib\idle.pyw

At the top of the script I added
------------------------------------
import os
os.environ['HOME'] = os.environ['USERPROFILE']
