How to Use My Documents

http://live.pirillo.com/ - Windows developers can't seem to agree on what folder personal files should be saved to.

If you're not saving your files from nay program into one folder, you're making a big mistake, because you'll end up searching for files on your computer for hours before you find the file you want.

The "My Documents" folder was created for the express purpose of organizing all of your files - images, documents, videos, music, - and being able to easily find and transfer them.

Software, on the other hand, tends to scatter their data across your hard drive. Some programs on Windows will store them in their program directory, while other programs will store their files in another folder.

It's a pain. It sucks. And, there's almost nothing you can do about it except to manually save your files to the My Documents folder.
