They don't call them "My" anything in Win8

Sorry, but that's not correct. My Music, My Pictures, and My Videos
are sub-folders of Documents.

On here they aren't.



Then there's something strange about your computer.


On my Win 7 system, My Documents, My Music, My Pictures, and My Videos are
all peers of each other, residing at the same level in the hierarchy.



I can't remember what it was like in Windows 7. I was responding to
his post about Windows 8.


On my Win 8 system, they are also peers of each other, but none of the four
have the "My" prefix.

Are we different?



Apparently so.
