The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0 Terminal Server Edition

This article was previously published under Q187137

SYMPTOMS

When you create users with the Add user account, you cannot modify the home directory to a different folder on the local computer. You can, however, create a path on another computer.

CAUSE

This is by design.

MORE INFORMATION

When you select Start/Programs/Administrative Tools/Administrative Wizards/Add User Account, the Add User Account wizard is launched. Choose Home Directory and click NEXT. The only choice on the local computer is:

   \default home directory on the user's computer

There is no choice to let the Administrator give a path to any other local folders.
