Only an underworked dilettante that writes very little. Most handle multiple documents under multiple areas. Try sifting through a thousand "My Document" entries to find that "Goldberg and Inklestein" (or other) file.....
in a work environment some place insist that ALL your work be in subdirectories under "My Documents" - it makes backup and restore easier.
You are allowed to have any tree structure you want under there- but it has to be under there- also it was mapped to a network location- so any place in the building (or around the world on the VPN) you would see the same "My Documents"
pretty cool once you got used to doing it
I could log onto my powerhouse development machine I got at home and see my exact same files. (my home computer with 4 monitors and a manly 16 gig of memory and VMware (that they could not understand at the office) running multiple virtual machines for testing
