Which version of Windows are you talking about. Did something MASSIVELY
change in Windows 11?
For a *LONG* time it was C:\Documents and Settings\%UserName% for each
user's home directory.
At some point, I don't remember when, it became C:\Users\%UserName% for
each user's home directory.
I've not seen a version of Windows in 20 years that didn't have a
dedicated home directory for each user where their files, documents,
photos, etc. lived.
Please share details about where you are seeing global document directory?
That being said, I wouldn't be surprised if there was a -- as you say --
global directory that had sub-directories pointing into each user's
directory as a convenience. But I would expect that users still had
individual directories.
C:\Global Documents\Bob -> C:\Users\Bob\Documents
C:\Global Documents\Tom -> C:\Users\Tom\Documents
C:\Global Pictures\Bob -> C:\Users\Bob\Pictures
C:\Global Pictures\Tom -> C:\Users\Tom\Pictures
C:\Users\Bob\Documents
C:\Users\Bob\Pictures
C:\Users\Tom\Documents
C:\Users\Tom\Pictures
