All of my include directories fail.  However, if the include file is in the same
directory as the main file, it works.

Yes.

No.

No.

How do I do that?  (I'm the only user on this computer.)  I used to know these
things when using a Windows 2000 corporate intranet, but I don't know how it
works on a home edition.

I had it on "Allow Read, Restrict Write."  Changing it to "No Restrictions"
didn't work.

The capitalization is meticulously correct.

I did discover a discrepancy.  These helpful, friendly Windows 7 "libraries" are
going to be the death of me; they've had me thoroughly confused since day one.
In one place, a directory is called "Documents"; in another, it's called "My
Documents."

I corrected the discrepancy (I think!), and it wasn't the problem.  In any case,
I had the problem in Window XP, as well.

It leaves me wondering, though: how the heck did my scene files render with
incorrect Library_Paths???  Or is it correct both ways?  In retrospect, should i
have told myself, "Screw the market," and bought a Mac instead?
