Hello everyone,
 
Does anyone know if it is possible to prevent applications from creating folders in the default documents location?
 
I am very picky about what I have in the documents drive (for me it is a dedicated partition) and I hate it when programs start adding directories in there, especially the ones with the idiotic naming convetion of "My whatever." I'm not in kindergarten, I don't need to label things with the "My" word preceding them, hehe
 
Anyway, please let me know if it is possible to restrict this behavior in applications. Thanks
 
 
P.S. I know that some applications have settings to map paths, thus avoiding the creation of default directories, but I am looking for a more general solution that will affect applications as a whole. Thanks
