Bug -- fresh install for multiple users

Chris Uppal-3
I've seen this twice now, so I suppose that counts as "repeatable"...

It seems that installing D5.1 for "all users" sets up the "start in" property
of the "fresh install" start menu option to the windows home of the user who
first installed Dolphin.

E.g. If I install Dolphin as "Chris", there is a start menu item that launches
    <Dolphin>\Dolphin.exe <Dolphin>\Professional (Fresh Install).img"
in the
    "C:\Documents and Settings\Chris\My Documents\Dolphin Smalltalk 5.1\"
folder.

That works fine, but if I then set up another user, TestUser (say), then
logging in as that user and doing a fresh install of Dolphin as that user, the
"fresh install" image will do a compress-sources in *my* folder (Chris's
folder), thus overwriting my own Dolphin image with the new image for TestUser.

(This was on XP, btw, in case it matters).

(And don't worry, I didn't loose any data ;-)
