"C:\Documents and Settings" appears to be something Windows handles.
On Windows 7 Professional (ver 6.1, SP 1):
Open cmd.exe.
"dir" does not show "C:\Documents and Settings".
"dir /a:" shows the following.
07/14/2009 12:08 AM <JUNCTION> Documents and Settings [C:\Users]
So it looks like "C:\Documents and Settings" = "C:\Users".
On my current machine, in Windows Explorer, I cannot look inside
"C:\Documents and Settings". In cmd I can cd into it but neither "dir"
nor "dir /a:" show any file. However Explorer will let me see inside
"C:\Documents and Settings\myusername". In cmd I can cd from
"C:\Documents and Settings" into "C:\Documents and Settings\myusername".
I'll stop here since I don't know much about junctions. But I hope that
the above helps.
Good Luck,
- Barry
