HOMEDRIVE is set by Windows. You don't have to set it. And bash wouldn't know HOMEDRIVE from a hole in the wall. ;-) >>it is not set but it is unlikely to be what you desire.

I can't imagine that this is correct behavior?! I'd agree. But moving profiles like you did is not likely to be without repercussions. I'm assuming that MS wouldn't recommend this. Nevertheless, it's a Windows problem that you'll get better information about it on some other list. At this point, you've gone beyond the scope of this one. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.
