Thanks for your help, I think I've figured out what the problem is. I omitted to mention that I also re-homed my Desktop folder at the same time I re-homed my documents folder as I didn't think it was relevant.
It would appear that there is a bug in the JVM that has been around for 6+ years now. Apparently the JVM determines the value of user.home by which should point at the root of the users profile directory by looking at the registry key: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ customer \Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders\Desktop] and then taking the parent folder. In my case (and many others) that doesn't produce the expected result. http://bugs.sun.com/view_bug.do?bug_id=4787931 <http://bugs.sun.com/view_bug.do?bug_id=4787931>Looks like I'll be moving my desktop folder back in the morning...
