there IS a way around the mydocs thing. it's a real pain in the ass, i'll try and see if i can find it. you have to swim through all kinds of crap to retake ownership. had to do that once reinstalling, i keep all mydocs on seperate drives. learned that the hard way, when you reinstall, move your mydocs back to its original location (but not the files), it will release the permissions on your directory, usually. then you don't have to spend 6 hours trying to reclaim your permissions. it is possible to do in xp tho. i just can't remember how
