When I add a user account via "Control Panel > User
Accounts", it creates the account and it shows up on the
Welcome screen. However, Windows XP IS NOT creating the
directory structure under "C:\Document and Settings" for
the new account.

This is Windows XP Home Edition that came pre-installed
on an HP Pavilion 7955 system. Any help will be greatly
appreciated.

Don't think this happens until you log on to the account AFAIK.....

Rifleman,

Thanks. You were correct. Once I logged on with the new
account, the folders for that user account's documents
and settings were created.

It didn't happen that way the first time I tried creating
the account ... I don't know why though I have my
suspicions. I think my roommate, for whom I set up the
account, got impatient because the his first login was
taking longer than usual to complete (while Windows was
doing all its initial housekeeping for the new account)
and I bet he reset the system, thinking the system was
locked up. He has little patience so I wouldn't be
surprised if something like this happened.

Thanks again, Rifleman.
