The author might prefer those paths to the Windows ones. It's generally a better practice *not* to use the "My ..." folders. Their names are longer, contain spaces, are used by any number of programs as default, and Windows will keep resetting their rights if you change them. Even Microsoft caught on and has started to simplify the directory structure. For instance, they changed the "Documents & Settings" directory to "users" in Vista. Clean, short, ... better. Should have been "home", but hey... :-) -- There is an art, it says, or rather, a knack to flying. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss. Douglas Adams
