I don't know what's going on last week. Because I didn't read every
mail. I'm very busy at the moment.
And I doesn't now very much about windows. Because I prefer linux.
Therefore I checked it on the vista machine here.
Here is the output from c:/>dir

But that doesn't look like "C:\Users is a symlink" for me.
For me it looks like c:\Documents and Settings are the symlink to
c:\Users.
And I read on Microsoft www site that they do this for some programs,
who will install into C:\Documents and Settings\%USER%, instead to ask
for %HOME%\%USER%.
That's what I've understood.

Manfred
