Hi,

When MS-IIS is installed on a machine, it creates a
number of admin users which do not have home directories
(ie no entry in "C:\Documents and Settings")

Does anyone know how this is done ?

I amd using the NetUserAdd API which does not seem to
support this

Thanks in Advance...

Apologies if this is the wrong group to post such
questions to :-)

Best Regards -- Peter

Not sure exactly how it's done by IIS, but you could always just delete the
directories after adding the user...

The problem is that I'm trying to do this during an
installation, so you cant alway know where the profile
directory is created.....

....unless someone knows better ?

You could use GetUserProfileDirectory()...
