    What folders should appear under the Users folder?


    I really thought the names of user accounts would be seen in the Users folder, but aside from the recognized "user accounts" of my own, Public, and Administrator, I have the following:

    .NET v4.5
    .NET v4.5 Classic
    All Users
    Default
    Default User
    Default.migrated
    DefaultAppPool
    TEMP
    UpdatusUser

    Yes, I am showing hidden folders here, but can I / should I blow away any of these? If I could at least justify a folder as being some form of system account such as maybe "All Users", but items such as the .NET accounts strike me as just plain weird.

    :)

    windows explorer

    File Explorer navigation pane shows my Onedrive\Documents folder under "This PC" instead of my C:\Users\AccountName\Documents folder that should be there. This change occurred sometime in the recent past. The same is true of my Onedrive\Pictures folder.
    They also appear under "Onedrive" where they should be. I don't know what caused this and can find no way to correct it.

    WINDOWS 10 - PROGRAM DOWNLOAD NOT WHERE I EXPECTED

    I downloaded a program but found that it does not show up in the START menu. Is that correct?

    It did show up under File Explorer / D'loads. It did not show under Users / myname?

    Please advise what folders downloads should appear.

    Thank you
