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
