On my Win 8 system, they are also peers of each other, but none of the four

Are we different?

Apparently so.

Are you sure you have Windows 8/8.1 Ken?


Yes, absolutely sure--8.1. On *both* machines here.

Did you do an in place upgrade from Win 7? Maybe the previous directory
structure was maintained across the upgrade.


On my machine, yes, it was upgraded from 7.

Thanks. I *think* that explains why you have the Win 7 directory structure,
(the "My" prefixes), that the rest of us don't have, but I think you also
said that My Music, My Pictures, and My Videos reside *within* My Documents,
which is a second, unexplained, difference. They should be alongside, not
within.

But on my wife's machine,
which is a one-week old inexpensive Dell, delivered with 8.1
installed, no. And she's running Classic Shell on it, not Start8.

I can't explain that one. I, too, have a Dell laptop, delivered with Win 8
and upgraded to 8.1 by me, and it has the proper Win 8 directory structure
where none of those 4 folders have the "My" prefix and none of them reside
below Documents.
