Sorry for the top post (phone). Glad to know I wasn't crazy. Will be back home to tonight to look at this further. Thank you for testing Darrell.

To add to the frustration, trying to change the path in "My Documents" using the little folder icon is busted. Using that method always results in a dialog asking me to select a file. Basically a pretty good WTF? moment. :) I could change the path in "My Documents" only by typing the path.
