MS Antispyware doesn't remember default user profile change

[Mark Denni]

The first time a domain user logs in on XP Professional,
it seems their Default user folder is on the local C:
drive, even though the login batch file specifies that it
should be on the appropriate network drive.
So, I moved the Default User folder.

But now, every time the user log in, MS AntiSpyware pops
up with this message:

Microsoft AntiSpyware has detected your default user
folder (shell folder) Personal attempting to be changed
from %USERPROFILE%\My Documents to H:\My Documents.

Shell folders are used in Windows to store the default
location for many types of settings and data. You should
block this change if you have not made the change or run
a program to do so.

Even though the box marked remember this setting is
checked, this happens again every time the user logs in.

Anyone have experience with, or a solution to this
problem?

I've seen this reported before, fwiw.

In this early beta testing version, Microsoft AntiSpyware is not suitable
for use in a domain networked environment, and you have discovered one of
the reasons why.

Microsoft AntiSpyware is, in its present version, suitable only for
single-user PCs where the use is logged in with local Amdinistrator rights.

Hi Mark,
As was posted elsewhere, one shouldn't run this on a production machine. It
is neither designed nor intended at this time for an Enterprise deployment,
or for deployment in an Enterprise.

Additional info on what may happen in an Enterprise situation can be found

But,

I have the same problem on a stand alone pc. I changed the
location of "my documents" to a folder on the D drive
(windows XP is installed on the c drive) and I get the same
message.
I also tried to uninstall MAS and install it again after I
made the change, but that didn't work.
