code:

---

$favLocalDir  = "%username%\Favorites\JMI Favorieten"
	If Exist($favLocalDir) = 0
		Md $favLocalDir
	EndIf

---

I don't get it

If the %username% directory or the %username\Favorites directory are missing it cannot create them.

it's a directory on the local PC, so %username% points to "c:\documents and settings\username", therefore a drivemapping is not necessary.

Both directories exist. I'm using Win2k, so both dirs are made when you logon for the first time. So, I don't get why this is not gonna working.

Anyone ideas?

Try %UserProfile% instead !
%username% is ie. "jpols"
%userprofile% is "c:\documents and settings\jpols"

stwh !

Current User common folders that MCA is referring to:

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

All users:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\explorer\Shell Folders

These are pretty universial between all flavors of Windows.
