Guys I know this has been in the forums in a few places but there is not much information out anywhere about this so thought I'd pass on this KB917422 breaks a few things. Explicitly when an app asks for the windows dir instead of returning the users windows dir it returns the system windows directory. Of course this can cause a few problems with the like of INI files etc. There is a patch which you will need to request from Microsoft which is KB924066. There is not much information available about this patch yet. Malcolm *********************************************************************************** The Royal Bank of Scotland plc.
