Default Confused about \[username] folder


Hi all,

I just got Vista and am still learning how it works, so please forgive
me if this is a simple question.

I noticed today when installing some of my software that my [Username]
folder does not show up when browsing in C:\Users\[Username]. The only
folders there are Default and Public. My [Username] folder is accessible
under "Desktop" in the Explore menu, but it is not in C:\Users. Why not,
and how do I put it back?

Yes, I have "show hidden files and folders" turned on. Yes, if I type
"C:\Users\[Username]" into the address bar, it goes there correctly.
However, if I open an explorer window, click on C:\ and then click on
the Users folder, the only two things that show up are Default and
Public.

Is this something as simple as Microsoft trying to make a user's
[Username] folder more accessible and not so hidden? Am I just supposed
to access it by clicking on the folder in "Desktop"? Why does this
folder not show up when browsing C:\Users?

Thanks very much in advance!
