U3 automatically creates Documents file.

[Jonas Wauters]

I have a SanDisk Cruzer.
It come with a free Software.
I love this software but the only problem is that it automatically creates a documents file.
I don't need that.
My question is can I remove that function and is it legal?
This is how far I found it.
When you install the software the disk splits in 2 parts one software and one for you to use.
On the software part there is an autorun:

Code: [Select]

[AutoRun]
open=LaunchU3.exe -a
icon=LaunchU3.exe,0

[Definitions]
Launchpad=LaunchPad.exe
Vtype=2

[CopyFiles]
FileNumber=1
File1=LaunchPad.zip

[Update]

I think the basic question is, do you want a U3 drive or not?  You can remove U3 but, if you do, I believe the U3 programs will not work.  After all, they were designed to be U3 versions of the software. 

If you're going to keep U3, then do not delete the Documents folder on your flash drive.  You can create folders on it, same as you would a hard drive.  So, if you want to store files in a folder other than Documents, no problem.

If you want to remove U3 from your flash drive, you can still install portable versions of many programs by downloading them from portableapps.com.

I want to keep the U3 software and I want to create other folders.
But I don't use the Document folder and it is just there every time again.
I had hoped that there was an easy way to prevent the folder from creating each time again.

A guy got 6 months in prison and a 500€ fine for doing that. 

What do you mean "legal"? What color is the sky on your planet?

You could mark the folder as hidden.  That is what I did with my U3 drive.

I don't understand the fuss about the Documents folder.  I believe it a system file that is normal on U3 drives.  If you don't want to use, then simply ignore it.  What's the problem here?
