As I recall from eons ago, NT4 TSE by default, makes subdirectories for each
user under the main TEMP directory. The flattemp command simply defeats this
hierarchy and throws everyone into the same directory defined in the %TEMP%
environment variable. This always sounded like a bad idea so I never
attempted it.

Not sure what your N: and O: drives are but this anomaly doesn't sound like
it's related to flattemp. I would check the system wide TEMP setting and
subsequently check the user TEMP settings for the affected user and another,
working user. You should be able to see something overriding the normal
drive.

Let us know how you make out.

  I have customer who asked me a question that I don't know the answer too.
He has an NT4 Terminal Server running MF1.8, he is using the flat temp
command, however any user that is logging in before he has used that flat
temp command, has a temp file going to n:\temp, instead of o:\temp like all
the rest of the users?



  Any Ideas, I have forgotten most of my NT4 stuff.
