My mother was nearly brought to tears because My Pictures is no longer under My Documents.

Everything in Windows (7) works around My Pictures being in its own location, with "Libraries" and everything. Her Picasa wants to index My Pictures, but finds it empty.

What's more is that Microsoft created, as a compatibility hack, a junction for anyone who hard-codes My Pictures as being a sub-folder of My Documents:

<JUNCTION> My Pictures [C:\Users\Mom\Pictures]

What's more is that there is

Pictures
?  My Pictures

I'm about ready to tell her that her new computer is being taken away until she either accepts the changes, or dies.

Suggestions?
