Hello,
These are probably junctions. These are locations that have changed from
Windows XP to Windows Vista. They are sitll there in the current form so
programs that access them will continue to work somewhat; however, directly
accessing them will not work. If it did, then programs would get confused
because they would see the same files in two different locations, the old
one and the new one.
If you are dual-booting, then it could cause problems. If not, then don't
worry about it.
Somebody mentioned the registry hack to get the root admin account up
on the Welcome Screen.
Here it is - cannot give credit for it I don't remember where I got it
from but its a true admin account with access to everything for system
wide tasks. I would not run on it permenantly.
Log in as Full Administrator
