Why each option
The default location for user profiles in Windows 7 is C:\Users\, where each user account gets its own subfolder.
C:\Profiles\ is not a valid default Windows 7 directory and does not exist unless manually created.
C:\User Profiles\ is not a real Windows 7 path - it is a fabricated option that does not correspond to any default system directory.
C:\Users\Profiles\ is incorrect because the profile folders reside directly under C:\Users\, not in a Profiles subdirectory.
Windows 7 stores all user profile folders under C:\Users\ by default, with each user having a dedicated subfolder such as C:\Users\Username. This replaced the C:\Documents and Settings\ path used in Windows XP and earlier versions.
