I worked like this for a few hours yesterday and found it will effect other
applications. The first I noticed was remote desktop. It couldn't find my
settings because it was using the default explorer shell folders.
Just keep in mind that when you change this, if anything at all unexpected
happens with any other application just change it back to what it was!
Thank you
Neil
