Well I will do a clean install today and recheck - maybe something happened.
I installed Vista first then later another OS on another partition. Maybe it
is the way the bloody thing "indexes" .. but I certainly did not otherwise
do anything e.g. drag a shortcut over or somesuch. Nope.
| Documents and Settings has been replaced by Users folder, so this is not a
