[Farmer Giles]

So, some games keep making folders in the 'My Documents' folder, is there anywhere i can make it so the files go somewhere else?

I don't think so - It's where the games store their Save data usually, it's likely hard-coded into the game.

Certain applications will allow you to specify where it stores application data, others will not.

Check application settings and config files to see if it's possible, a quick google search will also help

Most games since late 90s have been saving game data/profiles to My Documents or My Documents/My Games, its hardcoded when they develop the game, as Marc pointed out some games may allowed you to change this in the config files/game settings but not many.

Easiest thing to do is make the folders hidden if you dont want to see them

Right click the folder and go to properties. Tick the "Hidden" box, press apply and ok.

Ctrl + Left click on each folder you want to hide.

Then right click any folder you selected, properties, tick the hidden box, apply and hit ok.
