Default User is the profile that's assigned when a new user is
created. Certain settings under Default User (like NumLock) also
apply when no user is logged in.
All Users applies to, well, all users. The settings (such as Start
menu) merge with those in effect for the particular user who is
active at the moment.

"To put it bluntly but fairly, anyone today who doubts that the
variety of life on this planet was produced by a process of
evolution is simply ignorant -- inexcusably ignorant, in a world
where three out of four people have learned to read and write."
