I'm building a VB control that displays folders and files much like File Explorer does.
If I look at the ms docs for KNOWNFOLDERID I do not see a display name "Documents and Settings" for Windows 10.
But when I open Windows' File Explore in Windows 10 I do see a folder called "Documents and Settings"
It shows the same contents as the folder "Users"
Seems redundant and unneeded.
I believe it relates to and entry in KnownFolders.h: FOLDERID_Documents
Maybe the text comes from SHGetLocalizedName but I haven't checked that yet.
Maybe MS included it in SHGetLocalizedName for completeness, buy why included it in File Explorer.
I'm tempted to remove "Document and Settings" from my tree but I wonder why MS included it and do not want to be missing something.
Is there any reason I should leave it in my tree?
