actually, all of this header information is superfluous.  It's better to
just delete it.

Thanks.  Still see no problem, even on XP (I first tried W7).  Mine
returns the "Documents" folder for "All Users", which is what I would
expect.  Perhaps you don't have one of these or don't have access.  If
that's the case, the message you get is quite logical.
