User Manager Help
-----------------

   3. Optionally, to specify a home directory, select the Local Path
      box and type a local path (including the drive letter). Or, select
      the Connect box and specify a drive letter, and then select the To
      box and type a network path.

      For example you might type a local path of c:\users\jeffho. Or,
      you might specify drive H and type a network path of
      \\airedale\accounts\cristalw.

User Manager for Domains Help
-----------------------------

   4. Optionally, to specify a home directory, select the Connect box
      and specify a drive letter, and then select the To box and type
      a network path. Or, select the Local Path box and type a local
      path (including the drive letter).

      For example, you might specify drive H and type a network path of
      \\airedale\users\cristalw. Or, you might type a local path of
      c:\users\jeffho. When administering domain user accounts, specify
      a network path.

      Optionally, substitute %USERNAME% for the last subdirectory in the
      path. For example, you might specify drive Q and then type a network
      path of \\airedale\accounts\%USERNAME%.

Both Help file statements above are incorrect. You cannot specify a network
path as stated above. The proper universal naming convention (UNC) for a
network path is \\<server name>\<share name>.
