- -----------------------------------------------------------------
- The information in this article applies to:
-
- - Microsoft Windows NT operating system version 3.1
- - Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1
- ------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- When you log on to a Windows NT domain from a non-Windows NT client,
- the home directory specified in your account profile does not have any
- effect.
-
- A Windows NT home directory is a directory that is accessible to a
- user and may contain that user's files and programs. The specified
- home directory becomes the user's default directory for the File Open
- and Save As dialog boxes, the command prompt, and applications that do
- not have a defined working directory.
-
- The home directory for a particular user account can be specified by
- using User Manager to set the profile for the user account. The home
- directory setting in the User Environment Profile dialog box, however,
- only takes effect when you log on to a client running Windows NT or
- Windows NT Advanced Server.
-
- For example, if you connect to a Windows NT domain from a client
- running LAN Manager and Windows 3.1, any home directory specified in
- the logon account profile is ignored. Therefore, if you run
- COMMAND.COM or activate the File Open dialog box, the default
- directory will be the directory defined by the Windows 3.1 WINDIR
- environment variable.
