How to stop the My eBooks, My Videos, and My Music subfolders from appearing in 
the My Documents folder in Windows XP and later:

Here is a more efficient way to do that.

Each new version of Windows seems to add a new set of subfolders to the My Documents 
folder. If you delete these subfolders, Windows will automatically recreate them 
the next time you log on. To stop Windows from creating these subfolders every time, 
perform the following steps: 

From the Start menu, select Run, enter the command
 
regsvr32 /u mydocs.dll 

to unregister the .dll file, then click OK. 

Navigate to My Documents, then delete the automatically created folders that you 
no longer want to appear. 

The steps above disable the My Documents functions, so if your system is missing 
some functionality, you'll need to reregister mydocs.dll. If you want to reregister 
the .dll file, perform the above steps again but use the command 

regsvr32 mydocs.dll
