in Window Explorer in an expanded position above the My Computer icon.

Still shows in Window Explorer in an expanded position above the
My Computer icon.
It's a special folder. It may be possible to completely neuter "My
Documents", but I would not advise trying and I have never tried to do
so. Hint: mydocs.dll unregister. At your own risk! YMMV Backups!
Curious as to why having "My Documents" (which are your documents in
fact) displayed is such a problem. For many users this feature is
extremely convenient.
As you may know, the physical "My Documents" directories can be re-
located (but they still show up in the explorer tree pane).
