Sorry, shouldn't have taken notepad as an example. I used wordpad (write) 
instead.
When calling "write .profile" from /home/root, the following popup occurs:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\.profile
Cannot find this file.
Please verify that the correct path and file name are given.

Likewise with gvim (I noticed this because I had an alias for vi calling the 
windows gvim which used to work in earlier UWIN versions. Now it opens a new 
file, and after saving it's located in system32). I agree that with cmd, the 
current directory is used.
I'm using XP Professional, by the way.

Thanks
