An annoyance which is not directly Microsoft's fault is that too few programs allow
you to set their default file location. Yes, I can relocate My Documents and naturally
I can split up my files below that, e.g. putting pictures into My Pictures, etc.
but I'd really like more separation for some things. I generally don't consider a
database to be a 'document' for example. But Microsoft only made using My Documents
easy-they didn't make it a requirement so they aren't directly responsible for this
annoyance.
By the way, IMO the default location of My Documents is more of a PITA than the name.
I really dislike the way the name changes according to who's logged on.
