Two unreleated subjects...

In a networked Windows environment, is it guaranteed that every user
has their own Windows directory even if they share the Windows system
directory?

Is there a reliable way to detect whether the system has a full-color
display card (24-bits/pixel)?  Is using GetDeviceCaps and the PLANES
and BITSPIXEL info a good idea?

If you know the answers to these two questions, I'd appreciate it if
you'd either send me e-mail or post your response.  Given the general
problems I'm having adjusting to rn (I've been a notes/tass/tin user
in the past), I'd really appreciate it if you e-mailed anything you
posted.

Thanks in advance,
Kirt
