I don't fully understand what you mean by this. Could I just put a link on the desktop to /home/somedirectory and every user would have this pointing to their home directory? That was what I was intending. Chris Howells

You put a link to "~". The UNIX way of doing home directories, network-transparent mounts etc. is far, far better than the Windows way; there's no motivation to try to emulate Windows. Michael

There are a couple of standard subsitutions ~ means the home directory of the current user ~<user> means the home directory of <user> For your example you want ~/somedirectory -- Mark Evans St. Peter's CofE High School Phone: +44 1392 204764 X109 Fax: +44 1392 204763

Ah right.
