Are you using the OS2.INI or your own profile?
All my programs ask the user where to place the profile and as they are seldom 
used setup/test programs the user might select a floppy drive (starting from 
floppy is still an option when dealing with 100KB exes).

But even if the user selected a network drive it would hang the PM if the 
network fails and my program uses PrfWriteProfileData() from WM_MOVE.

Bye,
