[nfbcs] OT System Variables and Default Directories

[Nicole Torcolini]

Apologies; I did not want to get in trouble for being off topic. Here's the
whole story:

A few months ago, my laptop running Windows Vista 64 bit had hard disk
failures to the point that the operating system had to be reinstalled. I
tried to put the old users directory, c:\Users\Nicole, on to the new
installation. Somehow, in that process, I ended up with two versions of the
home directory, one called C:\Users\Nicole and the other called
C:\Users\Nicole.NICOLE-Dell (Nicole-Dell is the name of the computer). I
want it to use c:\Users\Nicole as the home directory. I have set all of the
various system directories involving user names and directories, but they
seem to have no effect; it keeps using C:\Users\Nicole.NICOLE-DELL. I was
just wondering if there is something that I am doing wrong. If there is not
an easy fix, I am willing to just let it be, but I wanted to check first.
Let me know if any of this does not make sense or if you want any more
clarification.

Thanks,
Nicole

Nicole,

Could you be more specific about what you need?  There are a lot of
similarities between default variables and directorys in Windows Vista and
Windows 7.  There is also some room for customization as well, so there
isn't always one correct way to set things up.  
Having an idea of what you are trying to solve might help determine if one
has to have specific Windows Vista experience or not.

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson
