Thanks, but that did not work. That is because I have:
C:\>dir /q c:\
Volume in drive C has no label.
Volume Serial Number is 2815-9B6A
Directory of c:\
...
18/04/2006 11:29 DIR BUILTIN\Administrators vedit
...
10 File(s) 20,615,967 bytes
18 Dir(s) 4,877,590,528 bytes free
C:\>cacls c:\vedit
c:\vedit BUILTIN\Administrators:(OI)(CI)F
NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM:(OI)(CI)F
BUILTIN\Administrators:F
CREATOR OWNER:(OI)(CI)(IO)F
BUILTIN\Users:(OI)(CI)R
BUILTIN\Users:(CI)(special access:)
FILE_APPEND_DATA
BUILTIN\Users:(CI)(special access:)
FILE_WRITE_DATA
That will because (sorry) I have changed the “default owner” setting on my computer to “Administrators group”.

Yes thanks, that works for me. It does leave me with config for one use only, but then I cannot now remember how the old Windows network installation .ini mechanisms worked.

"My Documents" versus "Application Data" is something for you to decide. But before that, have you looked at Vista? That is where all of this will matter to you.
