What do you guys think the change of the Windows folder changed from Documents and Settings to Users? Does it make any difference at all?

Hello Muz, and welcome to Seven Forums. :)

"Documents and Settings" is a junction point (symbolic link) that is used for backwards compatibility for old programs that still reference the "Documents and Settings" folder to redirect them to "Users".

I suppose to make it easier to have all your account details, settings, and such in one user profile folder under "Users".
