"Documents and Settings" is localized. Humm, not nonsense (it works for English), maybe not correct... (is this retrievable for replacement?) Anyway, the idea (if not the impl) stands, when a network user installs cygwin HOME is set to doc & settings. When a local user installs HOME is set to /home/user. So, should network user functionality be changed? (assuming it's possible to get the localisation) J. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
