This is set in several places, and I can never tell which takes precedence.

But User Environment variable TEXMF is set to:
{%HOME%\Library\texmf,c:\context\texmf,c:\context\texmf-local,c:\context\texmf-context,c:\context\texmf-mswin}

Then we have C:\context\texmf\web2c\texmf.cnf with the following line:
TEXMF         = 
{$TEXMFHOME,!!$TEXMFPROJECT,!!$TEXMFFONTS,!!$TEXMFLOCAL,!!$TEXMFCONTEXT,!!$TEXMFOS,!!$TEXMFEXTRA,!!$TEXMFMAIN}

Then we have C:\context\texmf-context\web2c\context.cnf with the 
following line:
TEXMF         = 
{$TEXMFHOME,!!$TEXMFPROJECT,!!$TEXMFFONTS,!!$TEXMFLOCAL,!!$TEXMFEXTRA,!!$TEXMFMAIN}

Then we have C:\context\texmf-local\web2c\texmf.cnf with the following line:
TEXMF         = 
{$TEXMFHOME,!!$TEXMFPROJECT,!!$TEXMFFONTS,!!$TEXMFLOCAL,!!$TEXMFCONTEXT,!!$TEXMFOS,!!$TEXMFEXTRA,!!$TEXMFMAIN}

Note I am also trying to use TEXMFHOME, but this problem also exists and 
fixing one may fix both.
