That's what I thought too Doug. This is an OEM install from Gateway! Any
ideas of how to stop this from having the "My Documents" folder open on
startup. Sorry about the new thread on this.

Uh, Carey, if a user upgrades from Windows 2000, then the Windows folder
remains WINNT. Additionally, some OEM's may direct that XP install to the
Winnt folder for their images. Just a hold over, I guess, but I have seen
it.
