Yeah now open another command windows & do SET USERPROFILE, notice that it is back to c:\Documents and Settings\username Windows would cease to function if you really changed the user's home directory. This is where it keeps the NTUSER.DAT (user part of registry) as well as many other application settings. Java does not use the USERPROFILE env variable to determine the location of user.home. -- Jesse Stockall | Tel: 1+ 613.599.2441 ext. 243 CRYPTOCard Corporation | Fax: 1+ 613.599.2442 Suite 304, 300 March Rd. | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Ottawa, ON, Canada K2K 2E2 | web: www.cryptocard.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
