prathapml Posted September 19, 2004 Share Posted September 19, 2004 Though I haven't seen a setting to change the location of that alone, there does seem to be a similar thing offered through TweakUI. You could apply that, and use RegShot monitoring to find out which registry setting does it.Otherwise, there's of course ways to make the entire "Documents and Settings" be located somewhere outside the "C:\" drive. That way is cleaner for the C: drive too!. That is done through winnt.sif (example):[GuiUnattended]ProfilesDir="D:\Documents and Settings\" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DigitalAZ Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 regsvr32 /u mydocs.dllWill this delete those bastards forever? Yes...Open a command prompt window (CMD.EXE)* Type the following and hit the enter key.regsvr32 /u mydocs.dllA dialog "DllUnregisterServer in mydocs.dll succeeded" will appear.* Select Ok* Delete the My* sub-foldersShould you need the My Documents functions that un-registering this library disables, type regsvr32 mydocs.dll in a CMD.EXE Window.

Anderz Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 Cool! I tried it and it works ... cool ... I, as well, hate those nasty My* folders... Thanks dude! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderz Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 One more thing. I've added this to cmdlines.txt. The problem is a windows that pops up... is it possible to do this silent?Yes it is - just add /s like this:regsvr32 /u /s mydocs.dllHopefully this will work on Default User, but I don't know?! Still testing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prathapml Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 The e-Books folder is not re-created by MS's own files. That one's the folder made by Adobe Acrobat Reader.I did read somewhere (right here in this forum) that there was some other file (maybe a DLL or one of those .api files in "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 6.0\Reader\plug_ins"). That file looks after the task of annoying us with the eBooks folder. Now, if only that thread was remembered by someone else as well..... 'coz I don't.
