Yes, Stephen M. Gava worked hard to give us this feature.

Well, I agree that the My Documents folder is where it belongs.  But I
also determined experimentally that it's at c:\ and is re-created

My W2K machine is unusual in that it's configured to put My Documents
on the d: drive.  Guess I'll have to read the code.
