And the user is at liberty to move USERPROFILE wherever they want.
If you upgraded NT4 to NT5^H^H^HWin2K it would still point to
%systemroot%\Profiles\etc.

Allow users to specify where they want prefernce files, yes.
*Require* users to specify where they want preference files, no. I'd
like to find a default that gives the right answer most of the time, and
allow the users for whom it isn't the right answer to override it.

Yes, I knew that - and, on my office machine running NT
5.0^H^H^H^H^H^HW2K, "USERPROFILE" is set to "C:\Documents and Setting\guy",
so that *is* the user's profile directory, it just doesn't happen to
have the word "profile" in the path name.
