Folders such as "my documents" and "my pictures" and "my music", etc, are
shown in windows explorer as "documents" and "pictures" and "music".

Is there a way I can stop Vista from trying to be friendly and just display
the folder names as they are in the system.

Thanks!

Uninstall Vista would work, otherwise, that's how it is.
