You're right. I never even noticed that. Also explains why there wasn't a user name associated with the UID. D'Oh! > Could there be some confusion between 1.5 and 1.7? If so, then it is a problem with the setup when installing files onto a 1.5 previous install. There is zero information as to what to do/fix when installing 1.7 on the top of 1.5, even though one is instructed to read the docs for said things to look out for. There is nothing in the docs about going from 1.5 to 1.7. It would have been nice if there was a section that dealt only with this topic. Maybe I should have done to the 1.5 install what I did to the 1.7 install, when going back to 1.5, and that is wipe out all of the directories, other than my home. I wasn't able to remove the tabs directory, in that it complained that I didn't have the rights to do that (using windblows explorer to select and delete files/directories).
