I'm with you. I've deleted those "My..." directories. I have everything organized by drives and directories in a way that's reflects how I work. Different applications are defaulted to different drives and directories, and I very much like applications to remember where they last loaded from, saved to, and saved "as" to. Apps like Paint Shop Pro and Adobe Audition very nicely remember all the last states, and PSP is particularly friendly (to me) because it remembers the different paths used to save different graphics format processes as well (i.e., saving to JPEG, GIF or PNG directly have a different remembered paths from saving to JPEG, GIF or PNG by using the web tool). Finale (at least up to 2K3) doesn't have a path memory, and this is irritating when printing to PS (for example), where it always uses the Finale application path. But I suppose "My..."-style 'folders' are good for most folks, for whom any kind of organization is a mystery, whether computer or closet. My wife is forever doing searches for stuff she's written because she doesn't pay attention to where she saved it. I might even find some of her writing on my computer if she was, say, browsing through family photos via the home network.
