I totally agree. I think it is a good idea to install Lyx to c:\lyx by default. This will save us from some troubles, but not all. Most windows users save their files under "...\My Documents" or "... and Settings\Desktop" and will still suffer from this problem. It is quite tricky to move these folders to something like D:\Documents. Cheers, Bo
