View Full Version : Too many document folders

Recently, I noticed that I have to many document folders on my hard drive.
One <My Documents> is in C:\Documents and Settings\user1\My Documents.
Another <user1's Documents> is sitting at the end of the list of folders on
C:\. Yet the third <My Documents> is listed below it. They all are identical
and contain all my documents and other files. I'd like to get rid of
<user1's documents> folder and keep <My Documents> folder, but when I
highlight <user1's docs> and right-click, there is no option to delete,
while hitting the delete key does nothing.
Is there a way to have only two folders for My Documents?
Any suggestion is appreciated.

This is one of my dissatisfactions with XP. There are too many nearly
identical places it hides things in. My workaround is this: I create my own
folders. I don't use any of XP's. I try to get programs that place files
in folders to put them only in the folders I create.

Thanks for your suggestion, but how do you remove XP's folders? I tried to
remove <user1>, but the system would not allow me...

I haven't removed any of XP's folders yet. So far, I just ignore them. I'm
new to this and figure I might need them some day, even if i could remove
them.
