Windows 7 User/Personal folder

Leandro

Is located on "C:/Users/Leandro".

I want to know if it's possible to stop Windows from automatically creating new folders. I have created my own folders for specific stuff but everytime I do "anything" I find out Windows created 5 new folders Like "search", "contacts", "shortcuts", etc.

How do I stop this behaviour?

A second question attached here is something realated:

On the main menu, my Leandro/Personal folder appears as a menu.

Is it possible to change the Directory of what the menu shows, because as I stated before it shows 5 more folders (or even more) and makes it harder to find the ones I use.

Answer to 1. Question:

These folders are part of your profile. You can relocate them individually to another path like C:\Users\Leandro\Windows\Search or C:\Users\Leandro\Windows\Contacts via Context Menu => Properties => Location; it's the only way to change this permanently.

But I think it's much better to separate your personal data from the operating system drive! I think it is stupid that Windows systems store everything on the same partition. Microsoft also doesn't offer an option to move the entire user profile folder to another partition.

You should manage your personal data on another partition. You can relocate "My Documents", "My Music", etc. to do that.
