Hey Chipp -
Here's what I got when I ran Malte's second script (slightly modified, and I
inserted extra CRs to make wraps more detectable):
$U3_IS_UPGRADE = false
$U3_IS_DEVICE_AVAILABLE = true
$U3_IS_AUTORUN = false
$U3_HOST_EXEC_PATH = C:\Documents and Settings\Phil\Application
Data\U3\0CB16C50A2916885\E12D38CA-C6EF-4bd0-B62A-F230F996FE2F\Exec
$U3_ENV_VERSION = 1.0
$U3_ENV_SUB_VERSION = 1
$U3_ENV_LANGUAGE = 1033
$U3_DEVICE_VENDOR_ID = 2284
$U3_DEVICE_VENDOR = Yahoo
$U3_DEVICE_SERIAL = 0CB16C50A2916885
$U3_DEVICE_PRODUCT = U3 smart drive
$U3_DEVICE_PATH = F:
$U3_DEVICE_EXEC_PATH = F:\System\Apps\E12D38CA-C6EF-4bd0-B62A-F230F996FE2F\Exec
$U3_DEVICE_DOCUMENT_PATH = F:\Documents
$U3_DAPI_CONNECT_STRING = 0CB16C50A2916885
$U3_APP_DATA_PATH = F:\System\Apps\E12D38CA-C6EF-4bd0-B62A-F230F996FE2F\Data
Hopefully this 'data picture' is worth a few words...
