  Unless, that is, one of them is a link/shortcut/alias to the other.

  On my machine, I have:

  <C:\Documents and Settings\user\My Documents\My Pictures>

which is aliased as

  <Desktop\My Computer\user's Documents\My Pictures>

and also as

  <Desktop\MyDocuments\My Pictures>

because I am logged in as "user".  If I log in as another user, those two
aliases under desktop will point to a different entry under "C:\Documents
and Settings".

  Somehow, I have a "C:\MyVideos" folder, but there is no "C:\My Pictures"
here.
