You must be using a domain login. According to the domain, your home is "H:". If you want to override that, you can simply edit '/etc/passwd' to point to a local home directory. Or you can create a new '/etc/passwd' by running 'mkpasswd -l >/etc/passwd' followed by 'mkpasswd -d -u <username> -p <local home directory> >/etc/passwd'.

See 'man mkpasswd' for more details and options.
