That is your personal home folder (for example "My Documents") where
CVS client config data specific to you will be stored.

The function to create a repository is the cvs command "cvs init".
What it does is that it creates a subdirectory to the directory you
want to be the top of the repository and this directory is named
CVSROOT. It contains the needed administrative files used by CVS.
By your description it has worked exactly as advertized...

The bad start is caused by you yourself not being willing to actually
read up on how CVS works before going out and using the CVS tools.
If you are going to manage a CVS system then at least go read up on
how it works....
RTFM is a good start in this case and you may start here:
http://cvsbook.red-bean.com/cvsbook.html
That is a well-known book on the subject and it describes the CVS
methodology and concept. It is the same on Linux as on Windows so do
not throw it out because it uses *ix words.
