I have Windows XP and I have two folders. They are called Shared Documents
and Robin's Documents.

The problem I am having is that sometimes when I create a new folder, rename
it, and place my work in the new folder, I try to place that folder into
Robins Documents. However, sometimes after placing the newly created folder
into Robins Documents, two folders are "self-created". The two folders that
are self-created are My Pictures and My Ebooks.

How can I place a new folder into Robin's Documents without My Pictures or
My Ebooks appearing?

My eBooks is not a standard Shell folder of Windows (but added by Adobe Acrobat Reader.) If you don't want to see the My eBooks folder, follow this solution:

NOTE: Perform the following only if you don't plan to use the eBook plugin of Adobe Acrobat reader. You can undo the operation though.

Rename the file ebook.api from C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 5.0\Reader\plug_ins and place it into the following folder:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 5.0\Reader\optional. Delete the My eBooks folder now.
