The information in this article applies to:

SYMPTOMS

When you create users with the Add user account, you cannot modify the home directory to a different folder on the local computer. You can, however, create a path on another computer.

CAUSE

This is by design.

MORE INFORMATION

When you select Start/Programs/Administrative Tools/Administrative Wizards/Add User Account, the Add User Account wizard is launched. Choose Home Directory and click NEXT. The only choice on the local computer is:

There is no choice to let the Administrator give a path to any other local folders.
