Hi Bill!

Seems like it ought to be easy enough, especially as it's never happened before, if memory serves me.
It's just that there are some folders I don't ever use, or which I have already named myself; for example, my folders have always been named in lower case, but now Konqueror is trying to do my thinking for me, so it has created duplicate empty folders such as Music, Templates, Videos, etc., whereas mine are named music, templates, videos, without the upper case. It doesn't rename my folders, or mess with them, it just adds folders that I don't need, have never used, and don't want, but whenever I try to delete them, Konqueror immediately recreates these folders again.
I don't know how I got it like this, as I set up my system like this back in about the years 2006-2008, when I was running KDE3. I want to keep things as I had them. I don't want these duplicates, and don't want just to surrender and rename all my folders in upper case, because that means I would have to go searching through my system for changed file paths.
Anybody have a clue how to change this behavior in Konqueror? Thanks for any help or suggestions!
These come from xdg-somthing-settings. You can use tde control center -> system settings -> paths to change them. Set the folders you don't like to your home directory, log out and in again, then "rmdir ~/*" to get rid of all those empty folders.
alternative: edit .config/user-dirs.dirs by hand, works just the same :)
