RE: My Documents Redirection error

Hi Richard,

I appreciate your update and reply. I am very glad to hear that the My
Documents redirection issue has been resolved. It's no problem to keep
this thread opened, if you have any question or concern related to the
original issue, you may post back in this thread or simply send an email to
me at any time. I will then get back to you as soon as possible.

Again, thanks for your understanding and cooperation, and it has been a
pleasure to work with you. I look forward to working with you again on our
Microsoft public newsgroup.

Have a nice day!
