Dave,

Change it here as well:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders
AppData = %USERPROFILE%\Application Data
Local AppData = %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data

Similarly do the changes in "Shell Folders". The values are:

C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Application Data

Reboot!

Checked and the value was't correct (pointing towards 
c:\windows).  However I amended it to c:\documents and 
settings\username\application data, and this has not 
resolved the issue.  On a reboot it changes it back to 
c:\windows again
