Re: Profile directory and "salting".

   There's never only one way.  Also, the only way to *really* fix it 
is to never turn your computer on.  So saying that salting makes 
things safe is a bit of an overstatement.  It's all a question of how 
secure you really want to be.  (It certainly doesn't make it things 
less safe - but it comes down to priorities and user preferences.)

>[I hate the salted profile directories too!]

   I was starting to feel in the minority. <grin> Actually, what I 
hate more than the salting is the fact that the user community has 
been given  no choice in the matter.  (And saying you can write your 
own code or pay money, etc., isn't really the point.)

      Jason.
