I'd be VERY careful with one's syntax - especially when writing directly to WORKSTATION user profiles !

This is just a heads-up for everyone in the future !

Here's the scenario ...

1) New NT user account is created in user manager
2) User logs into workstation for first time
3) NT creates workstation profile called c:\winnt\profiles\@userid
4) Scripts are written that reference c:\winnt\profiles\@userid
5) For some reason - user account gets corrupt - (happens with roaming profiles)
6) User account gets deleted from user manager
7) User account is re-created with same name as previous
8) User logs back into workstation with new account
9) NT finds cached version of old account - but SIDS are different
10) NT creates new workstation profile with @userid.000
11) Script no longer works !

Been there - done that !

I always reference workstation profiles with the following...

%userprofile%\desktop

Guaranteed to work every time !
