That is the reason: the two should be identical to avoid the problem. Does it help to define the environment variable LOGNAME whose value is the same as the Windows user name, before starting Emacs? > I also tried adding to my .emacs this line : > ... > (setq user-login-name user-real-login-name) > ... > but it made no difference. This won't necessarily help, since user-real-login-name might be nil (not yet initialized) when Emacs processes that line in your .emacs. Setting LOGNAME in the environment should solve the problem in a more consistent and predictable way.
