I wonder if it was a bug in the way Windows handles "libraries". Like going to "documents" instead of going to c:\users\blah\documents. In fact I bet that's what it was. Maybe it thinks a USB stick is part of the "Documents" library or something.


Non-english Windows has magic names for program, downloads, documents etc folders.

I see alot of apps using hardcoded paths since they create a "downloads" folder and save stuff to it.

Alot of bugs are exposed in a non US-eng install.
