If you using wordpress from directory you should have three directories and wp- files and they all needed to run wordpress

WordPress will not touch any directories other than its own.

So how dose wordpress work then? I do know that when a user creates an account lets call it xmen, once created it will show in the browser as http://domain/xmen/
using my knowledge of computers xmen is a directory

Assuming you are using Multisite (in which case, you really should be posting in the Multisite forum), all of the member sites will be created under a
blogsdirectory - again within the WordPress directory structure. -
No is not all users are saved in a table in database.
The only directories wordpress creates will be in wp-content folder that will be your uploads like media.As Esmi said unless you set multisite if you allow your users to create wordpress site their own or create one for theme.

Its just a little confusing because two different files cant share the same space
So if a user creates xmen and there is a directory existing called xmen there will be a conflict, not?

No there want as directory created by xmen site will be in blog directory and that is in wp-content directory.
WordPress will not create a directory in your root if that is confusing you.The only directories there will wp-admin,wp-includes and wp-content.

A sub-directory install creates a path-based network, even though it does not use file system directories.

Posted 4 months ago #lets say there is an index.php in that directory that is in the root?
-
Posted 4 months ago #Well I just tryed a test on my MU blog and the answer to my own question:
The index.php file in the directory within the root will come up first. There for I can an will install on Saturday and if someone should create a site that has the same name as one my directories at least I wont need to worry about that directory
-
Each directory can have index file as that the first file server opens if you check each directory in wordpress there is index.php file may be blank in some directories as that is how it should be.
-
As for your worry about having same name wordpress works with id number and then permalink mod_rewrite module rewrites the url
