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! -- yopumpkinhead |
