Administrator folder in Documents and Settings

The Documents and Settings folder on my local disc contains a subfolder for each user profile, plus an All Users folder and an "Administrator" folder. What is the purpose of the "Administrator" folder and what data is it supposed to contain?

I was attempting to copy user data from a suspected corrupted user profile to a new replacement user profile I had just created, per Microsoft Article ID # 811151. But I mistakenly clicked on the wrong folder in Windows Explorer and copied the user data to the Administrator folder instead of the newly created replacement folder, as intended. I first noticed the error as the files were being copied and I began getting multiple messages that files I was attempting to transfer already existed in the new folder, asking did I want to replace them new files (the ones I was attempting to copy), with new files with the same name. These were individual filenames that previously existed only in the old user data folder under the corrupted profile.

All user profiles still seem to work normally as before, but I am wondering if I lost some essential data that might cause some malfunction yet to be observed. I had previously made backup copies of all user data folders, but none for the "Administrator" folder. I assume I can re-copy any essential data, if any, that I might have overwritten, from the restore disc that came with the computer.

Does anyone know the purpose of the Administrator folder, and any effects that might result from overwriting its contents?
