I am running windows vista and I came across the folder C:\\program
files\microsoft intellipoint, which was over 40gbs. I opened the folder to
find a clone of my own user folder, complete with all my documents and music.
deleting a music file in this intellipoint folder proceeded to delete the
file from my user folder. Is this normal? What exactly is going on?

I only have 16 MB used in that folder on my computer.
It sounds like you have a junction point in your folder that points to your
user folder.
