No matter how many times i delete "My Downloads" from my documents folder it just keep re-appearing.
I was wondering if theres any kinda of tweak or registry edit i could do to get rid of it once and for all?
 
How did you get the 'My Downlaods' Folder in the first place? Did you make the folder, or was it a program? If so, what program?
 
nuh that's not a program. it's some hacker that is making all the folders every time u delete it
 
"My Downloads" is not a default "My" folder, it is user created. Windows should not replace it when you delete it. Therefore, you must have a program that uses it (other than Windows, such as AIM, MSNM, or other IM programs) and that's why it's being replaced.
 
I know that iMesh forces a folder called "My Downloads" it the folder you specify, if it is iMesh simply change the directory from within imesh.
 
i do believe it belongs to aim if my memory is ok hehe..

Maybe its your KazZaA or any other files sharing programs.

Actually, the default AIM download directory is "filelib" stored in the my documents folder.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(
