Removing the My Documents Folder from the Desktop

4 Feb 04

The My Documents folder differs from other folders in Windows, and not only in terms of looks. Most programs running on Windows use the My Documents folder as a default save option, and it's set up a bit differently than your average desktop folder. So if you want to remove the My Documents folder from your desktop, do it the careful way: Right-click on it and select Remove From Desktop. While the folder itself will still exist on your computer, the desktop shortcut will be gone. If you ever want to return it to the desktop, right-click on the desktop and choose New, My Documents Folder On Desktop.
