User Settings directory - help

Hi all,
I'm using the VS2005 auto generated settings.settings file. When I save the
file, it puts the user.settings file under an ugly looking directory name
(found in C:\Docs&settings\user\local settings\app files)
How do I change the directory name (not location)?

Thanks in advance,
Tim.

Timothy,
Thats an Operating System Folder!!! You can't change its name. Some
installations will have this folder on a network share.
Good Luck
