Ok, I renamed my pcitures to phot library. And a month later it shows up as
?My Pictures" again. So this time I emptied it out, set up a completely new
dir, and put the files in there.

Is there a way to completely shut off the My Documents stuff?

When I used only DOS, 1985-95, I had a directory c:/work
That worked just fine.

"Note that you can change the location of any of these system folders
using TweakUI (see Appendix A), either to redirect them to existing
folders or to consolidate them into a single folder. You can also safely
and easily delete any of these folders.

The excepton is the My Pictures folder, which, if deleted, will be
automatically recreated the next time Windows starts.
