Something weird is going on.

When I browse through to and select "C:\Users\Owner\afile.txt", the title says:

"Edita: Error opening file"

And the message is

"C:\Users\cklester\afile.txt"

cklester?! Where'd that come from?!

Any ideas?

I wonder if it has something to do with the weird reparse points W7 now has. In a dos box I get:

C:\Users>dir /aL 
 Directory of C:\Users 
14/07/2009  05:08    <SYMLINKD>     All Users [C:\ProgramData] 
14/07/2009  05:08    <JUNCTION>     Default User [C:\Users\Default] 
C:\Users>cd .. 
C:\>dir /aL 
 Directory of C:\ 
14/07/2009  05:08    <JUNCTION>     Documents and Settings [C:\Users] 
So If I try to write to "C:\Users\All Users" (or "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users") it actually goes to C:\ProgramData. And if I click on C:\Documents and Settings in Explorer I get access denied. I don't have C:\Users\Owner, I wonder if you have somehow "aliased" (/junctioned/symlinked/whatever) that to cklester.
