CSIDL_PERSONAL corresponds to the user's 'My Documents' folder, whereas CSIDL_PROFILE corresponds to the user's profile directory which is more consistent with the POSIX 'HOME' directory.
Checking my USERPROFILE folder it does contain log files, some .internal_folders_for_nix_like_applications and stuff that, well, belongs to my profile (Desktop, Favorites etc) I can't say that it resembles -more- a HOME path than does My Documents. USERPROFILE is still a mystery to me, I would not have my applications store anything there. :) Christian
