    HAHAHAHAHA... lemme guess, they were using their CDROM for a cup holder too? and they thought their printer wasn't working cause it wasn't under a window? did you tell them to send it back and say they were too stupid to own a computer?

    I could have sworn it changed between:

    Win XP.
    Win 2k
    Windows NT
    Windows 98
    Windows 95
    Windows 3.1

    Basically every few years. Sure that doesn't seem like much but it adds up - especially when every time you are helping friends with similar issues.

    But more that that it's part of what made you dread each new Windows install. And like I said in another some programs never realized the home directory had changed so you a little fallout for months or years after each change when some program exhibited a quirk because of it. Windows always was the death of a thousand cuts, and that was about forty of them.

    To compare, for the last few major releases of OS X my home directory structure has remained the same.
