How do remove the "My Documents" folder and it's subfolders from my hard
drive completely without problems? (I have tried using it but find I have
another way to handle my files which I like better). When I go to the
Internet select a file to save, "My Documents" or one of it's subfolders
(such as My Pictures, MY Music, etc) opens. Then, I go through extra
activity to get it saved to the right folder. Please Help

Hi,

It's a system folder and cannot be deleted, Jack.
