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".

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:
