"C:\Documents and Settings" after upgrade?

[Jan Wagner]

Hi,

more a "nice to know" question here:

After doing an upgrade from XP SP2 to Vista RTM, it seems what was
previously "C:\Documents and Settings" is now C:\Users, but the
folder "C:\Documents and Settings" is still there. Running cmd.exe
as Administrator or normal user, "dir "C:\Documents and Settings""
just says File Not Found. NTFS messed up? Or is Documents and
Settings still used by Vista?

Ah yes, true, and

cd \
dir /a:s
....
02.11.2006 15:00 <JUNCTION> Documents and Settings [C:\Users]
....

Haven't seen much use of these before in Win2k and XP, so seeing it
actually in use in Vista was a surprise

Btw good tool:
