Removing the Public Documents folder

Problem: You’ve deployed Windows 7 on the client computers in your environment, and you want to remove the Public Documents folder from the list of libraries on these computers so users won’t accidentally store documents in this folder on their computers. How can you do this?

Solution: You can use the Shell Library Command Line (ShLib.exe) command-line tool in the SDK to create and modify libraries on Windows 7 computers. The Grim Admin has a good explanation of how to do this here:
