The special folders are deliberately made so convenient that it would never occur to you to save files anywhere else. They’re on the Start menu, they’re in the left column of File Explorer in several places, and you’ll see them when you click on This PC. There are four special folders embedded deeply in Windows so you can find them easily: Documents, Pictures, Music, and Videos. How did our Documents folders fill up with crap? Golly, I’m glad you asked. Oh, sure, I can put shortcuts in Quick Access and use a bunch of tricks to get around, but I’m shallow and easily distracted and I kind of want my Documents folder to contain, I dunno, my documents. When I’m navigating in Word or Excel, I frequently have to find Business or Personal in that list. All of the rest are WindowsCrap™, created automatically by Windows and other programs, following guidelines from Microsoft that aren’t working out well. I created exactly two of those folders – Business and Personal. You’ll see at least some of the same names in your Documents folder. This is a picture of my Documents folder.
My Documents folder in Windows is a cluttered mess and there’s nothing I can do about it.
