&quot;My Documents, My Pictures, My Music, My Videos&quot;, have been abandoned as folders since Vista. Instead they were replaced by &quot;Documents, Pictures, Music and Videos&quot;, and directory junctions were used with the &quot;My &quot;&nbsp;in front, to give you some compatibility for old software that still used those folders by default.

Shortcuts in Windows 8.1

Windows 8 is a personal computer operating system developed by Microsoft as part of the Windows NT family of operating systems, with an emphasis on improving its user experience on tablets. In particular, these changes included a touch-optimized Windows shell based on Microsoft's "Metro" design language, the Start screen, a new platform for developing apps with an emphasis on touchscreen input, integration with online services, support for USB 3.0, Advanced Format hard drives, near field communications, and cloud computing. Additional security features were introduced, such as built-in antivirus software, integration with Microsoft SmartScreen phishing filtering service and support for UEFI Secure Boot on supported devices with UEFI firmware.
