   Can you explain the Documents & Settings folder in Windows XP?   
      
   My Documents & Settings folder contains some folders with the same name as   
   folders on C drive but the data is not identical.  It also contains folders   
   that do not appear on the C drive.  For instance the "Data" folder appears   
   on each. "Data" on C drive has 273 MB, whereas "Data" in Documents &   
   Settings" contains 468 MB.  "Quicken" appears on the C drive, but not in   
   Documents & Settings. However on the Documents & Settings, a sub folder of   
   "Quicken", called QuickenArchive appears.   
      
   None of this makes any sense. It appears that a tremendous amount of disk   
   space is used up in Documents and Settings by highly inaccurate files that   
   serve no purpose.
