Deleting folders in My documents

Is there any way to get rid of the "My music ", "My pictures" and "My videos" folders in my documents? I delete them but they reappear again later.

Thanks

 

Start, Run, regsvr32 /u mydocs.dll

Do the deletions.

 

Windows XP stores the location of per-user special folders (including Internet Explorer Favorites location) here:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders]

My Documents is handled in a similar fashion, but in a different registry entry.

What unregistering the mydocs.dll does is essentially:

• Prevent an autorefresh of special folders;
• Prevents enforcement of this key:
  
  [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
  DisablePersonalDirChange of type DWORD
  
  Note: changing this value to 0 is unlikely to help you if mydocs.dll is still registered, although you can delete the entry completely. Not recommended.

It should not effect the ability of XP to find folders, including My Documents.

Note #2: If you have any issues, re-register the control:

Start, Run, regsvr32 /i mydocs.dll
