It's correct for my Win 2000 Pro system... I wonder
if it is correct for XP machines that were "upgraded"
from Win2K?  There are other differences between XP
machines that were formerly 2K, and ones that were XP
from the start, notably the name of the system dir,
"winnt" on 2K and "windows" on native XP.

Sure makes writing installation procedures fun.  No
matter *what* you do, some users will think you're 
a fool.  :-(
