Hi all,

I recently installed Visual C++ and Visual Basic. I noticed that both programs keep on creating a directory named “Visual Studio 2005” in My Documents, even though I’ve changed all the option settings for directories. I find it quite annoying actually. Is there a way to stop it from doing this?

Thanks in advance.
