Help for $UserBaseDirectory  gives the following "very helpful" instruction:

The value of $UserBaseDirectory can be specified by setting the 
MATHEMATICA_BASE operating system environment variable when the 
Mathematica kernel is launched. It cannot be reset from inside the kernel.

I would like to know where, when and how to do that.

Thanks EF
