Don't blame me...blame Mr. Gates! The "My Documents"
folder/subdirectory
comes with the o/s, and is the default directory for several accessory
programs! In fact, "My Documents (Old)" was my renaming of a "My
Documents"
folder from another machine, which had a few files I still needed to
access.
The folks who write o/s software have to tiptoe a fine line...their
"public" runs all the way from folks who know as much or more than
the o/s-creators...to people who have no idea what is going in that
mysterious box, but know how to click a mouse button when the arrow
points to the icon for the program they want to use. The latter are
quite happy to find their files in a folder named "My Documents"...
the former would probably prefer file names created in Unicode, so
they could use 65,535 potential characters and name their folders
in Scandahoovian...?!
