For WINNT is on a NTFS
and WINDOWS is on a FAT32

No, where did you get that idea? Starting with Windows 2000, the
system directory has been named Windows rather than Winnt, no matter
which filesystem you chose to install it on. The naming of the system
directory is not dependent on the filesystem choice.


On the Day I made it FAT32, I name it WINDOWS not Winnt that how,
we have a choice on filesystem, and directory name it windows always
did.....

The default system folder name of the all Windows NT-based products
starting with Windows 2000 was "Windows". You could also name it to
"Winnt" if you liked, or even "Timbuktu", but the default has been
"Windows". This name never changes whether you created it with NTFS or
FAT from the beginning, the default name still remained "Windows".

and as for Documents and Settings, I have it on WinME too, and it's not
a NTFS but a FAT32.......

Look, you're extremely confused, several people have already told you
that hard and soft symbolic links are required to be used, starting
with Windows Vista, but you keep harping on partition table entries
which is completely irrelevant here. Symbolic links have been around
since Windows 2000, but rarely used. Symbolic links are multiple
aliases to a file or a folder which point to the same entity without
physically duplicating it. It allows you to reference a file/folder by
using different names.


Symbolic links are not required for Fat32,
in Fat32 you Restart your Computer so a new user can login,
it uses the Documents and Settings for the user same as a Symbolic links
do,

But in a NTFS you need not Restart your Computer so a new user can login,
That why Symbolic links is required for NTFS..

You have a lot of funny ideas about how Windows works. Windows does not
need to be restarted to login to a different username, even if it was
running under FAT rather than NTFS.

Read this article about what symbolic links are again, so you can
understand what they do:
