I very strongly advice not to manually create any symlinks for the Users folder after it has been relocated with Sysprep. There's no reason for that; if the system creates C:\Users even after the relocation it will never grow above some kilobytes, in worst case scenario a megabyte or two. Totally irrelevant. Here's a screenshot from the machine I use to write this reply to show the irrelevance:
The stuff going to C:\Users is from software that has been coded using absolute path C:\Users\User instead of variable %userprofile%. Luckily today it's mostly only some B-class old software, in my case the only content in C:\Users\Kari is an local appdata folder for Wondershare video converter, a software I tested and didn't like. In fact making the above screenshot reminded me about how much I disliked Wondershare and that I have uninstalled it, meaning I can delete the whole C:\Users folder.
If the C:\Users disturbs you after the relocation, hide it.
The system created link from Documents and Settings to C:\Users is today mostly irrelevant. It was made there by Microsoft when Vista came out, to offer cross OS functionality for those upgrading from XP which stored user data in Documents and Settings folder.
That is an additional bonus for the SSD users, in addition to saving storage space on system drive and separating user data completely from OS.
