| | "C:\Documents and Settings" after upgrade? 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? - Jan |
