I haven't studied your message in detail, but suggest as a starting point
that you read Help|User Manual|J602 Install|Cutomized User Folder.
You can get what you want by looking at bin\profilex_template.ijs and
creating your own profilex.ijs. This only has to be done once and will not
be affected by reinstalls. Be sure to fix the config=. error noted by Ric.
If you know of a simpler way to do this for all platforms, for single and
multi-user installs, J on a mem stick, etc., I would love to hear details.

Subject: [Jbeta] j602-user moved to C:\Users
This is a help in isolating things we develop from the J system files;
however, in Windows it still insists on putting the user libraries on the
C:
drive. I still maintain that we should have the ability to move user files
off the C: drive. And not have to modify profile.ijs to do so. I moved
the
directory created by the J installation to the D: drive and replaced it
with
a link named "j602-user" pointing to the moved user libraries. When I
started J again it ignored the link and created another set of user
libraries. Now I see two directories named "j602-user", one with a folder
icon and the other a link icon. I have noticed that previous versions of J
ignored links as well. They treat them as ordinary files with type ".lnk".
Why not have J file management use and follow links if they are there?
