Only snag is, it assumes the user will be happy with stuff like that on 
c:

That does NOT include me :-)

On my system, c: is reserved for Windows and system stuff only. 
"Documents and Settings" has been moved to e:, and on any system I set 
up for friends etc, I do the same.

But if you point it at d:, for a lot of people that will be the cd-rom 
... (and it will fall foul of the same problem as far as I am concerned 
:-)

You might be best putting a readme on the desktop telling people how to 
do this (and any other stuff which is dependent on the host system 
configuration).

Cheers,
Wol
