Keep programs from using My Documents
- by muntoo
Is there any way to keep programs from using the My Documents folder (on Windows 7)? Everything program seems to want to get in there.
I know I could manually symlink each folder a program decides to create, but I would rather not have to do that for each program. Another alternative is to put my stuff in a different location than My Documents, but then I wonder why Microsoft named it 'My Documents' and not 'Applications: put all your stuff here'... probably because filenames cannot have colons on them, but still.
I'll probably end up partitioning my drive as I have been doing before, but I was wondering if there was any way to fix this painful annoyance.
