It looks like it means that whenever you make a new user on a Windows 7 system, then make backups before that user has ever logged on, the backup will result in error messages. (those special folders are created the first time a user logs on) Apparently, instead of fixing that bug in the backup program, Microsoft wants everyone to create those folders so their broken backup program can back them up. _______________________________________________ questions mailing list questions@lists.ntp.org http://lists.ntp.org/listinfo/questions
