Perhaps in this Knoppix forum nobody knows, which directories Windows uses to hide all the files of the users. And since Windows 7 this OS plays hide an seek by so many symlinks between all his directories.

I recently discovered some folders on my Win8 were hidden from my Win7, and vice-versa. I'd not been alert to this before.
