MyPictures folder keeps appearing

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.basics (More info?)

If you feel comfortable with messing with the registry then try this...

run regedit and goto
HKEY_Current_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer

ad the following DWORD

NoShowMyPictures with a value of 1

Then delete the directory and reboot. This should get rid of it.

P.S. Oh back up the registry before doing this. Just for safty.
