vs2008 (and earlier versions) always creates empty folders in c:\users\<username>\my documents every time it runs. Is there any way to get it to honor the location of ‘my documents’? It’s never on my c: drive. This leads to the annoying problem of 2 ‘my documents’ folders in windows explorer.
MS is not following it’s own guidelines. And there is a ‘MyDocumentsLocation’ value in the vs registry settings that is correct, but ignored.

    Check the Tools>Options dialog, Projects and Solutions tab.
    This sets a number of locations that Visual Studio uses, and these usually default to MyDocuments.
