The Default Users folder is a template that is used whenever a
new user account is added to the computer. Without this folder
you would have a hard time replacing a corrupted user account.

The All Users folder stores settings that are common to all
users on the computer. If you were to delete this folder, a
good number of the items listed on your Start Menu would
disappear.

Within the Documents and Settings folder, along with a folder
for your user account, you'll find these folders:
Administrator, All Users, Default User, Local Service, Network
Service. None of these folders should be deleted. Those folders
are there for a reason. Deleting any of these folders would be
a mistake.
