I understand what your saying but you mention
username.machine in my case it is not machine name but
domain name, what would cause it not to use the folder
with the user name only if it exists, and why would it be
random to only some users, I tried deleting one of these
sets and after a couple days both showed up again, the
first one being username then after a few logins
username.domain name showed up.
thanks
