Hi All,

My office PC's username I changed to `Trish' but still the c:\Documents and
settings\user\ is not changed to c:\Documents and settings\Trish\.

Because of this problem `Briefcase' could not synchronize. Any solution of
this?

Thanks for any replies.

Trish

Reboot the PC.
Logon to the PC using a DIFFERENT account that 'Trish' that has administrative rights.

Rename the folder from...
c:\Documents and settings\user
to
c:\Documents and settings\user.BAK

Logon as 'Trish' and the folder...
c:\Documents and settings\Trish

will be created. Then copy the user data from...
c:\Documents and settings\user.BAK

to

c:\Documents and settings\Trish

You can't just rename a user account. As you discovered, that only makes a
cosmetic change and doesn't alter the underlying files/folders.

Make a new user account called "Trish" (after renaming the old account back
the way it was) and copy the original account to it. You will need to log
into the new account once before you can copy anything to it and you'll
need to do this from a third account that is not the ones being copied from
and to.

Silicon Image makes the SIL3112. It would normally be on this page,
but has possibly been replaced by the 3512. So your email went
to the wrong company.

http://www.siliconimage.com/products...mily.aspx?id=3

You can get driver updates from the SiliconImage web site.

Disabling a function like that, might not work out the best
for you, since the function would be required to work just
before Windows shuts off system power.

Yes, it was the company - sorry I got it wrong in the original post.

I have the latest driver already. Both Silicon Image and SIIG who make
the RAID controller with it, are completely unresponsive to emails and
faxes.

Perhaps one could arrange for the bit of software to be loaded only
with Agent... like the old TSR concept under DOS
