Not in Germany. It's only \Programme here ;-). However I consider it a pain
in the bud - because the is no easy to access configuration option for it.
Well there is one, but not easy to access.

Of corse "Documents and Settings" is worse. I don't want my personal files,
my Desktop and profile to be on C: but moving "Documents and Settings" is
almost impossible.
