Hi, can some one please help?

Why when I log in as user abc and it always creates user
abc.machinename folder for user abc and not just use the abc folder in
c:\documents and settings

Even I set the profile path to c:\documents and settings\abc

Thanks.

Why is this a problem?

Any application/script/whatever worth its salt will dynamically create the
path anyway.
System variables like %USERPROFILE% will point to the right spot...

How do I set %USERPROFILE% for that particular user abc? you mean
add to registry somewhere?

Thanks.

It's part of the OS already.
Start button --> RUN --> CMD --> set --> ENTER (Those are built in
environment variable...)
