One of the reasons I don't like to use My Documents is that many applications put their crap in the My Documents folder without my agreement. This is equivalent to rearranging my desk drawers for me, unasked.
Maybe my mental model of MY Documents simply doesn't match what Microsoft's intention was, or what the software developers at Adobe Captivate think, but in my world, "My" means "mine, so get your fingers out of my stuff". (Who's designing for my emotions?) -=- Jerome -----Original Message----- From: Rui Ramos Sent: Sat, 12 July, 2008 11:46 AM On Mar 18, 2008, at 11:58 PM, Maxim Soloviev wrote: > By unknown reasons I dont like to use My Documents, right now there > are just bunch of all stuff I move here from desktop.
