It is supposed to be your repository of personally created files, as examplified by the following 5 default sub-directories names: My music, My Pictures, My Received Files, My Videos and My Shared Folders. I have SEVENTEEN (yes, that's 17) other folders that have been created there without my consent by different installer; 8 of them are games, one is Visual Studio, one SQL Server Tools, one is Flex Builder (because of the Eclipse ancestry I guess) and the rest are random apps.</p> <p>But Adobe does have a knack, even on Windows, to duplicate directory structures (ie. FirstRun, Documents and Settings, etc all containing pretty much the same exact things).</p> In Windows, the default “personal documents” is called “My Documents”.
