Re: Can't checkout to my C: root directly *PANIC* Admin Files Missing

Thank you guys for all your help.  That other 2nd problem went away after I 
rebooted.   You guys were right, the cvs folder interfered and made a mess.  
Thank God or helpful people. :)

If you see that you are indeed configured to use

that you are unable to create and populate a
C:\CVS directory is likely the root-cause of your
problem.
I think the analysis Arno provided is exactly right, and has nothing to do 
with the TopLevelAdmin option.

From any working directory, if you create a directory named CVS (or 'cvs' on 
Windows, since it's case-insensitive) then _without changing directories_ 
issue just about any CVS command, you'll get the "PANIC" error message.

The red herring in this case is the fact that the current working directory 
also happens to be the root directory.
