That's good to know. Still the major problem for me is that those 'My ...' folders are an (unnecessary) additional abstraction. I still see 'My Documents' instead of the real path. Why? What I would like to have is, that I define a default path just in the same manner as 'My Documents' but that it does not get an additional name. It should just display the path I have chosen as default. Then I know for sure where my files end up in. I already tried to somehow get rid of the 'My Documents' paradigma so that all programs default to a 'real' path but without success yet.
