The 'All Users' folder in Windows 10 is a special folder that is used to store data and settings that are accessible to all user accounts on a computer. This folder is typically located at C:\ProgramData and is hidden by default.
The 'All Users' folder is used by Windows and many programs to store shared data and settings. For example, when you install a new program on your computer, it may create files and folders in the 'All Users' folder that are accessible to all user accounts on the computer. Similarly, when you customize Windows settings, such as the desktop background or the taskbar layout, these settings may be stored in the 'All Users' folder so that they are applied to all user accounts on the computer.
Some common types of data and settings that are stored in the 'All Users' folder include:
Program files: Many programs install files and folders in the 'All Users' folder so that they are accessible to all user accounts on the computer. For example, a program may install a shortcut in the 'All Users' Start Menu folder so that all users can easily access the program.
Shared documents: If multiple users on a computer need to access the same documents, they can be stored in the 'All Users' Documents folder. This allows all users to access and modify the same files.
System settings: Some Windows settings, such as the default printer or the taskbar layout, are stored in the 'All Users' folder so that they are applied to all user accounts on the computer.
Temporary files: Some programs may create temporary files in the 'All Users' folder that are used by all user accounts on the computer. These files are typically deleted when they are no longer needed.
It's important to note that the 'All Users' folder is a system folder and should not be modified or deleted unless you know what you are doing. Changing the contents of the 'All Users' folder can affect the functionality of Windows and installed programs.
