Windows "Switch User" Configuration Compatibility

Hello Group!

When I am using the AntiSpyware Beta, I get complaints
and must accept the pop-up warnings every time
I "Logoff / Switch Users". I assume that the AntiSpyware
Program caches just one setting configuration and not a
configuration for each user? This is very annoying.

My basic computer configuration is:
1. C: Drive Partition - Windows OS
2. H: Drive Partition - Users "Home" Files (One Stop
Backup)
3. T: Drive Partition - Temp Files and Scratch Space

Each User is configured to;
1. "My Documents" - H:\%USERNAME%\
2. "Windows Desktop" and "Internet Favorites" have
been moved using Tweak-UI to H:\%USERNAME%
\Windows\Desktop\ & H:\%USERNAME%\Windows\Favorites\
3. Environmental Variables %TEMP% and %TMP% are set
to point to T:\%USERNAME% which includes T:\%USERNAME%
\Temporary Internet Files\

I do this intentionally to reduce the volatility of the
OS Partition, limit the fragmentation of the OS Partition
and centralize/simplify a "Home User's" backup
requirements to the "Home (H)" drive. This is just my
personal configuration preference / practice.

What I thought was a good configuration seems to by
driving AntiSpyware nuts.

Any Ideas?

Thanx - Todd
 
Hi Todd,
It's a known issue, and you aren't the only one pulling your hair from it.
Expect changes in Beta 2 that will address the issue.
