Access Windows 7 folders as done in XP
I would like to customize Windows 7 professional for my users, so that they can access My Document and other folders, the same way that it is done in Windows XP. How can I do this?

The folder structure in Windows 7 is different than that of XP. Is there a way to access the My Documents folder (for example) the same way, as is done in XP?

In Windows 7, if you click on Documents (in Windows Explorer), you get 2 sub-folders named "My Documents" and "Public Documents." Saving files to the documents folder and managing them, gets a bit complex sometimes.
The Pictures, Music and Videos folders are the same way. I would like to the able to access (or save files to) these folders in Windows 7, the same way they are accessed in Windows XP.
