Under Windows XP, and with Scilab 5.0.3 I've never experienced that 
scilab failed to start from the directory C:\Documents and 
Settings\Torbjørn Pettersen\My Documents\scilab

However, the bug http://bugzilla.scilab.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3089 is 
still present in version 5.0.3, but from the comments in bugzilla it 
seems to it may be fixed for higher versions of Scilab.
