Unless I'm mistaken, those strings are contained here;

Code:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders

Obviously, alter those at your own peril. Good luck.

I think I'll wait for some confirmation. Thanks, though.

What are the repercussions of altering these?

In the meantime, I'm back to googling.

Sure thing. Here it is, Zidane24. Hm. I was born on the 24th. Interesting!



Hope this helps.

Also, sure. I'm a pretty big fan of MGS. Maybe not the biggest, but try me if you'd like!

Welcome back otacon

since most of the problems are gone, I would do a backup just in case resolving the temp profile breaks something.

I think a Guru pile on is going to be needed to fix this once and for all. Im going to PM them brb

I wait patiently. Thanks again, Zigzag.

And confirmed, ultraplanet, it's still temporary. The new one works fine, however.
