Renaming "Documents" folder
Compared to Windows XP, the Windows 7 "Documents" folder has an absolute boatload of stuff in it, some of which I may never use.
I wanted to rename the folder to "My Documents," (as per XP) and then create a sub-folder named "Documents," which will contain only text files, making the whole thing neater and easier to search through.
But I've already had a bad experience of what might happen if you mess with the way Windows 7 wants things to be. So my question is, can I get away with this without creating a massive headache for myself?
I'm assuming I will have to take ownership of the current "Documents" folder before Windows will let me rename it. But I don't want to proceed without checking, a) if 7 will let me do what I want to do, and b) what unanticipated and undesirable side effects might result.
Thanks in advance for any input,
