Well, you can see the profile locations in HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList
there's a value called ProfilesDirectory
which tells you where the Documents and Settings directory is.
Below that, each SID has a value called ProfileImagePath
, which lists where the profile is located.
You can also see HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders
for the locations
of all special folders (like My Documents, Start Menu, etc.)
