User Profiles	A User Profile contains information about a user configuration. This
	includes the profile components, such as desktop settings, screen colors,
	and network connections. When a user logs on, the user profile is loaded
	and the Windows environment is set accordingly.
	The user profile data resides in the following directory:
	• <%SystemRoot%>\Profiles on Windows NT
	• \Documents and Settings on Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003
	These directories contain all user profiles that are configured on the
	system and backed up by Data Protector. If a system is configured for
	multiple users, a separate user profile belongs to each defined user. For
	example, the All Users and Default User profiles contain the profile
	components common to all defined users and those assigned to a newly
	created user.
	Data Protector reads the location of the profiles from the following
	Registry keys:
	HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\\
	CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders
	where information about common profile components resides.
	HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\\
	CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders
NOTE	If you back up CONFIGURATION and the whole Windows system partition
	as a filesystem, the Profiles are backed up twice; as part of a filesystem
	backup and as part of CONFIGURATION. To avoid this, exclude the profile
	data (see above for location) from the filesystem backup.
