Default "C:\Documents and Settings" after upgrade?

Hi,

more a "nice to know" question he

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?

Haven't seen much use of these before in Win2k and XP, so seeing it
actually in use in Vista was a surprise :-)
