Thats great, but would be even greater if they put "Your" instead. :laugh: Weiye Chen Life is hard, yet we are made of flesh...

You mean, the JIT always converted it to "My Managed Documents" in the background, which made Microsofties kick it out alltogether?

Same thing here, I always felt that the "My" means the computer owns it. :rolleyes:

How about not defaulting all your documents etc. to your profile, typically stored on the most volatile disc on your system and all copied to the network everytime your start up and shut down? I never understood that....

Seriously? How many people 'work' at more than one PC? I've never known it - that's what networks are for, so you don't have to copy files from one machine to another all the time...
