Right - there is a users folder on the C: drive. I
followed many people's advice and made the c: drive
smaller for the OS, and made the d: drive the big one for
data and programs. Unfortunately, sbs didn't give me an
option as to where the default users folders should be -
they went on c: drive. Also, all the exchange data are on
the c: drive. So I wish I hadn't followed that advice.
The whole reason I made the big d: drive was to put that
kind of stuff there.

So I'm putting users' folders on the d: drive. But
although the win98 clients can see their default folder on
c: fine, I'm having trouble finding them and mapping them
when I put them on d: drive.
