What's the point of the \Users\Default profile?

Question

I'm a linux user and don't really know all that much about Windows stuff. I'm changing the default \Users directory and I see that there's a Default user profile at \User\Default that's a hidden link or something. What's the point of this?

Answer 1

Creating new users copies that data into the users' profiles, therefore it's the "default" settings etc. Here and here are articles about these defaults.
