Default PT Installer Creating Documents Folders

It appears that the 2024.3 installer is creating Documents folders in the root directories of internal drives. Anyone else seeing this?

Default Re: PT Installer Creating Documents Folders

Which platform are you seeing this on?
I'm on Windows and haven't noticed anything being created in the root folder.
I do know that it creates its folders under the 'One Drive\Documents' folder on Windows, which isn't always the best place for them.

Win 11 23H2. Created Documents\PT in both C: and D: root directories. No big deal - no issues deleting them. I don't have local documents linked to OneDrive so I don't see any PT folder references in OneDrive.

I take it back. I installed the latest PT release on a new system and it indeed creates a Documents directory in the root. Thanks for bringing this up since it shouldn't be doing this.

Hmmm, it only does it to my C: drive here, but I agree it should not(never noticed before). I renamed the folder(just in case PT was actually looking for it) with no affect on anything. One more thing to delete after an install(along with those session templates that get installed every time....)
