    Why isn't the User Profile Name in the Navigation bar exactly the same as the User Folder...


    When I use Folder Options to display the User Profile in the Navigation bar of File Explorer, why isn't the User Profile name exactly the same as my User Folder name on the C drive? The contents of User Profile and my User Folder on the C drive seem to be the same, and I thought the User Profile would be just a link to the User Folder on the C drive, but not so.

    :)
