    Document folder and automatically created subfolders


    Hi all,


    In my Documents folder, Windows automatically creates a Picture, Music, Videos and Downloads subfolder. I can sometimes delete these subfolders and sometimes I can't. However, whether I delete or move the subfolders, Windows will automatically recreate them in the Documents folder every time I log in.


    I do not want those subfolders in my Documents folder, as there are already main folders for Pictures, Music, Videos and Downloads. The subfolders only clutter my Document folder. Does anybody know whether this is a setting I can turn off? It is driving me nuts....


    Thank you in advance!

    :)

    Prevent Program from Creating Folders in My Documents or Direct Program from Creating Folder in Subfolder of My Documents

    I am tired of programs who thinks they are so cool and creating folders in My Documents. I don't want them to create folders in My Documents. If they must create a folder within My Documents. I want them to create folder only within my subfolder in My
    Documents. Is there a way to do this?

    Archive Manager, can't extract without creating subfolder

    I am trying to extract an archive which contains an archive split into multiple files and for that I need Archive Manager to extract the first archive not in any subfolders.

    I read on the internet that if there is more than one file in the archive Archive Manager will automatically create a subfolder when extracting, now I think that there should certainly be an option for that too but there should not be only this default option available because now I can't extract a few archives without automatically creating subfolders.

    I do not want subfolders because then the second archive won't be able to extract contents because the second archive is split into more files (which depend on each other) and now all these files are in its own subfolder instead of the same folder.

    I used to this with ease with 7-Zip and Winrar on Windows but in Archive Manager there is no such a choice where you choose yourself whether you want it extracted to subfolder or not in a subfolder.
