Is it just me, or shouldn't the Documents folder (when portableapps is installed) be named Home and the Documents folder should be placed in the same folder as Music / Pictures / Videos ?
I use PortableApps every day and this has always been an annoyance to me.
Maybe this could be a feature change request ?
It's a legacy thing from before Windows 7 existed and back when drives often had a Documents folder already on them. Windows XP had Pictures, etc within Documents as well. The idea of Home is more a Linux thing, and the only equivalent on Windows is C:\Users\YourUserName. So we could go with Home, Files, User, etc. The big issue is needing to move the files for existing users without breaking existing app's pointing to files within that structure.
