(5/34) 6 - problem with windows install?

Using windows 2000:

Two issues here (probably related?)

Jedit starts OK, but "jelaunch.log" in the JEDIT program
directory gives errors:

Debug : \[launcher\] searching for server file
C:\Documents and Settings\mclark\.jedit\server
Debug : \[launcher\] Server file not opened
Debug : \[launcher\] System error message: The
system cannot find the file specified.

My JEDIT shell32 context menus are also broken
(spawns JEDIT but does not open the file requested)

Possible cause? \! :

have moved my desktop location to "d:\storage\desktop"
instead of the default "c:\documents and
settings\username\desktop"

Jedit has placed all my downloaded plugins into
d:\storage\desktop\.jedit\jars (leading my to believe that
jedit finds its home there), yet LAUNCHER is looking
for "server" file in "c:\documents and
settings\mclark\.jedit" which is not living there.

What to do? Perhaps it's just a configuration issue.
Seems like it should automatically detect this
environment though.

2003-11-14 03:12:18 mjericho	Logged In: YES user_id=419287 Java determines the user.home property by taking the parent directory of the desktop. (see src\j2se\src\win32 \native\java\lang\java_props_md.c) As far as I'm aware this is not documented anywhere. jEditLauncher should use the same technique to determine the home directory, so this is a bug.
2003-11-14 04:02:41 mjericho	Logged In: YES user_id=419287 The only workaround that works for me is to add the following parameter to the Command line options for Java Application Loader: -Duser.home="C:\Documents and Settings\mjericho"
