Re: Can't checkout to my C: root directly *PANIC* Admin Files Missing

Thank you guys for all your help.  That other 2nd problem went away after I 
rebooted.   You guys were right, the cvs folder interfered and made a mess.  
Thank God or helpful people. :)

I think the analysis Arno provided is exactly right, and has nothing to do 
with the TopLevelAdmin option.

The red herring in this case is the fact that the current working directory 
also happens to be the root directory.
