Re: Bug in default folders config

G'day Warren,
Hmm, then they're lazy! We NEVER reformat a hard drive without doing a complete backup. And I mean complete. If the data is visible to Windows, we get it; if it is visible to a sector copy from Ghost, we get it; if the drive chamber is intact but the drives' logic board faulty, then provided we can source an identical logic board we will use it, and we get it!
I am amazed at how many people will let cheapskate repairers get away with short changing them on repairs.
OTOH, if you don't want to pay for the extra, say, hour or so it might take then that is your look out.

Just re-read the above and realised I should qualify something - we do most of our work for businesses and you'd be surprised how many non-ms products do NOT use my-docs for their data storage - and rightly so too. These are often in small networks and sharing directories from my-docs can lead to some terrible confusion. Also, MANY products store their data and/or configuration stuff under "Program Files". This is also not the best place, but they're still there.
