Documents and Settings



I backed up all my "Documents and Settings" using Windows XP BACKUP. I
then re-installed Windows XP and created the same User Accounts. Say
USER1, USER2, USER3. I then restored the "Documents and Settings" from
the backup. I now have the original c:/Documents and Settings/USER1,
c:/Documents and Settings/USER2, c:/Documents and Settings/USER3.
These have all the original Favorites and Documents. But the system
seems to be using new directores, called c:/Documents and
Settings/USER1.HOME, c:/Documents and Settings/USER2.HOME, c:/Documents
and Settings/USER3.HOME.

I guess I could easily copy the original files into the .HOME
directories, but WHY did this happen, and do I really want to stay with
these .HOME directories for consistency purposes.
