I'm setting up Windows 7 on my laptop. I have a full backup from my Vista OS which I'm using as a basis for the new W7 setup. Somewhere along the "Restore from Backup" process, I restored somethings from Vista under the wrong Folder under C:\Users. How can I correct this mistake? Guess I need to know what the Folder higherarchy is SUPPOSED to be before I make any changes - but I don't know where to look (I've tried Google).

BTW, what does it mean to Post a Poll?

C:\Users\<yourname> should have your "Pictures", "Movies", etc folders that are personal to your account (as you'd find under "C:\Documents and Settings\<yourname>" in XP.

Everything else has pretty much the same heirarchy as it always has.
