Hello
I've tried to load Arduino IDE under windows (8.1 and 10) and this never starts. After a very short time of bootscreen, it suddenly stops. Running arduino_debug.exe under administrator made me realize that it tried to access to home folder of an inexistent user. I mean: my user on Windows is "Víctor", and the folder is on c:\Users\Víctor. But Arduino tried to look for (exactly): c:\Users\V!ctor. Obviously, the folder didn't exist and it breaks always i try to run IDE

The ide should be able to deal with name folders with non-ascii characteres. Otherwise some users can experience big troubles
