Problem after installing KB917244

We are an ISV and several of our customers are reporting problems with
our application running on Win2000 Terminal Server after installing the
KB917422 update.

Our application reads and writes certain user settings to an
appname.ini file in the user's Windows folder. After installing this
update our application is trying to access the c:\windows\appname.ini
file instead of c:\document and settings\userid\windows\appname.ini
file. This causes severe problems in our application.

After uninstalling KB917422 users again access their own ini in their
local windows folder.
At this time it appears that this is a problem on only Windows 2000
Terminal Server machines.

Has anyone else experienced similar problems?

Is anyone aware of a fix other than removing the update?

Thank you,
Todd Erickson
