[JAWSLite] Re: jaws settings & roaming profile

Check for the existence of an environment variable named %userprofile%.
This should be created when you login to the domain, and should be
pointing to your roaming profile area.  It, along with %appdata% are
what apps often use to locate the appropriate place to store info which
belongs to the user instead of to the pc.

If those environment variables aren't present, see if you can figure out
why; is it your server not setting them, or is your windows not able to
create them because it's out of environment space?
