Interesting I dug into XP(Home)'s help on mounting drives and it said that you can use any unused folder. I've been tempted to set up a separate partition for all the user documents, kind of like a /home, and see if I can get this to fly under XP. I'm afraid that this would take some heavy kludging on my part and outright snarf everything at a re-install. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
