Why not 'My'?
Going through the Environment.SpecialFolder enumeration (as in 'System.Environment.GetSpecialFolder(Folder as Environment.SpecialFolder)'), I've noticed this:
| Enumeration | Folder Name |
| MyComputer | My Computer |
| MyMusic | My Music |
| MyPictures | My Pictures |
| ? | My Documents |
Can you guess the missing value?
Yes. That's right. Score 1 for order and consistency, 0 for randomness and chaos.
The misssing value is Personal.
Personally, I'm torn. Do I prefer the consistency of 'MyDocuments'? Or do I prefer 'Personal' and its cheeky rebellion against the word 'My'? I mean, 'PersonalPictures' just sounds rude, doesn't it?
Tricky. Just wanted to share.
