Fixing the "My Documents" or "Documents" foler from loading when any user logs in.

Note for the Vista Users:
The User Account Control (UAC) will popup for the confirmation to use the programs since they are the Administrator's programs, click Continue, and read the steps at the beginning of the word "Open".
To avoid the UAC to popup, go to Start > Programs (classic meu) or All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt (right-click and click on Run As Administrator), UAC will popup, click Continue, the following will start in the Command Prompt Window:

press the up arrow, hit backspace to remove /active:yes, and type an asteris (*), the following will show:

Thanks for reading this tip, and steps of how to get rid of the "My Documents" folder from poping up when you login.
My dad works for computers, like builds, repairs, etcetera, and he started the network one, and is studying "Microsoft indows Server 2003" at his office.
Hopefully this helps.
