Mike,

I'm not complaining if that's what you are suggesting. I am suggesting that I need to deal with reality as it is. It would be nice if the world followed my ideal of how it should be but alas I haven't found a way of imposing my wishes upon others. It strikes me that it is far more rational to accept reality than close one's eyes to it. You may think that placing all output in the My Documents folder is the absolutely best way to go and as I've mentioned I'm largely in agreement with you but the reality is is that this is not always going to be the case.

Microsoft has their view of how things ought to be and we developers need to remember to deal with things as they are.
