According to Scripting Guy article Understanding the Six PowerShell Profiles, $profile is expanded from $PsHome\Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1; $pshome is the powershell installation directory and a read-only variable; according to a post on this thread, Microsoft tells us this cannot be changed.
