Document Folder - Restricting - 01/27/02 06:48 AM

Hello everyone,

Does anyone know if it is possible to prevent applications from creating folders in the default documents location?

I am very picky about what I have in the documents drive (for me it is a dedicated partition) and I hate it when programs start adding directories in there, especially the ones with the idiotic naming convetion of "My whatever." I'm not in kindergarten, I don't need to label things with the "My" word preceding them, hehe smile

Anyway, please let me know if it is possible to restrict this behavior in applications. Thanks


P.S. I know that some applications have settings to map paths, thus avoiding the creation of default directories, but I am looking for a more general solution that will affect applications as a whole. Thanks
