Where can I find an explanation of how Windows 2000 organizes the
documents and settings folder? I have folders under that with "All
Users" and then under my name and then one that says, default user. All
of them have the same folders within them and all have startup menus
too. Where can I find an explanation of what's going on here? Do I need
all three?

All Users is pretty much just what it says. It's stuff that all
users will see. For example, instead of having a shortcut to Outlook
Express in each individual's start menu, if it's in the All Users
start menu, everyone will see the same shortcut.

Default User profile is a template that is used to create a profile
for a user who logs onto the computer for the first time.

Your user profile is stuff that is specific to you. In the NT world,
(NT, 2000, XP, etc.) each user has his own profile.

No they do not all have the same folders under them. For example look at All Users. Under that you will not find My Documents but instead find Documents. Also you will find under Application Data for all the folders they are all very different.

Yes you need all three.
