Thanks, Frederick and others who replied,

I started with Frederick's option, but decided instead to create new folders 
within the C:\Documents and Settings folder, where the PC user already has 
permission.  Same effect.

So far the only problem I've found is that Crystal Reports didn't print because 
"user" doesn't have access to the Remedy ODBC.  I opened ODBC Administrator as 
user and manually added a "AR System ODBC Data Source" Usr DSN.  That seems to 
have worked.

I guess I'll keep my fingers crossed for the next couple weeks.

Thanks again,
Dwayne
