Hi Jerry,

Thanks for the feedback, that's quite interesting. So here's 2 totally
separate users, who somehow both seem to have no Default user directory. I'm
guessing there must be some kind of bad WAIK automated installation of Vista
floating around out there, which is not creating the Default user directory;
or something (3rd party app? Vista bug?) is silently causing the Default
directory to be deleted. Weird. Anyways I'll keep an eye out for more
instances of the issue. Thanks again for the update!!

Cheers,
