I think it is not necessary to have a separate HOME and USER There is one problem - you will have user numbers not names in home directory name and that's not nice. > Notice that non-bat programs cannot set environment variables, but Why not?

Hmm, "set HOME=%_CWD%" is better IMHO, because that gives you a choice - set different HOME for each user or not. :) Kristaps Kaupe, http://kristaps.netparks.lv ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
