Before I go on to sort this out (will have a look at John's

Yes, and while you're at it, arrange for your Documents folder to be on
the data drive, not where XP puts it by default, which is in a
sub-sub-sub-folder of your Windows directory.

Default is C:\Documents and Settings not a sub dir of the windows
directory.
