Upgrading (from NT to 2000 anyway) will not change the directory
structure. In particular upgrading Windows NT 4.0 to Windows 2000 or
XP will result in the profiles being found in C:\winnt\profiles not in
C:\Documents and Settings. Also %windir% is not changed.
I found this out by accident - I did find a mention on
www.microsoft.com, but I can't find it again, sorry.
I don't know whether or not an upgrade to Win2003 will at any stage
prompt you for the %windir% directory.

Cliff
