    Weird Folders in "Documents"


    In my documents folder i have my regular saved word documents, powerpoint docs etc etc. What really gets annoying is that there are sometimes folder completely irrelivant to the documents where all i want is MY saved documents. I can get rid of them by deleting them but they'll come back.

    what should i do ?

    Are you sure it is not a folder created by some software you have installed. Usually if you delete these they will be re-created when you run the program.

    1. make a folder
    2. paste the ''annoying'' files in that folder
    3. place the map in a area where you NEVER come in
    4. try delete the files where it was at the first time

    hope it helped you
