Not on Vista, it's not. Look in C:\Users\ ;o)
Also, hide "protected operating system files" to avoid confusion. I
understand you might want to be able to see them - I always used to

have them hidden most of the time, and only show them when I actually
need to. Now, if only there was an option to hide junctions but show all
other system files.....
