That's not the best part yet. Remember links? Apparently they survived the big Longhorn and made their way into Vista! They really only exist as the "mklink" command line tool, support for creating them is nonexistent in Explorer, and iirc they have some other underlying architectural failures that makes them generally unpleasant to use on Windows.

But hey, they exist, so someone had the glorious idea to translate these already terrible names into whatever is appropiate for your localized Windows, and create links for stuff like Documents and Settings. Confusion complete.
