That's where I missed what you did. I had previously thought that to
enable the account one had to just simply create it. I see what you did
now and sure enough when I checkmark that little, itty, bitty, quirky
check box :) the directory shows up. When I uncheck it the folder goes
away.
Is this like an undocumented feature or something? I mean I have seen
nothing on this anywhere in the documentation. Does anyone know where
this is documented?
It's just downright weird. I mean there is no way a typical user would
ever figure this out. Short of being on this list and asking a lot of
questions I suppose :). What an unintuitive and quirky way to set this
up.
Thanks.
Carlos
