Hi Elliott,
Maybe you have to update your .rootrc file in your home directory
to specify the paths where to look for the macros.
When you tried to circumvent the problem by putting your macro in another directory, you tried c:\root\macro whereas the error message seems to indicate it should be c:\root\macros So, trying it out with c:\root\macros should work to my opinion, otherwise there is something else which goes wrong.
Just my 2 (euro) cents,
Nick.
