How do I keep My Pictures folder from showing up

I notice a folder named "My Pictures" keeps appearing on my default drive. I delete it but somehow it keeps reappearing. I don't know if starting up is doing it or running photo editor or another image editor. How can I keep the folder from being created?

The folder is a part of your user profile and I don't know that you can delete it. This is created by windows 2000, not any other software, which is why it keeps returning when you delete it. Do what I do, don't use it and forget it's there, it won't harm your system

Get Tweak UI for win 2000 and you can remove it from there, if that doesn't work then just try setting the attributes to hidden
