How to specify user home directory in /etc/passwd

Hi Friends,
I am trying OpenSSH for windows for the first time and i have a
question regarding the User's home.
Since my userhome is: E:/Document and Settings/<my_username>

when I place this in /etc/passwd file.....i get an error message.And i
understand, I cannot put that in the /etc/passwd because of the ":"
,but then how to point to the userhome directory in /etc/passwd. I
tried relative path but that did not worked either.

Here is what i get,when i try to connect from Putty using my private key:

E:\OpenSSH\usr\sbin>sshd -d
