"C:\Users\tahir\Documents" to "C:\Users\tahir\My Documents", and the
pictures changed from "C:\Users\tahir\Pictures" to "C:\Users\tahir\My
Documents\My Pictures", etc...

Default Re: profile path changed strangely

Go to start/.../run and type the command:
%userprofile%
This is the path used by the system to put documents in your profile
folders. You will find the the "My Documents" folder is 'access denied', and
'Documents' is available. This 'mirror' makes your system more secure.
(albeit less 'backward compatible' with previously written software)
