Delete Videos>Captures Folder
Hi,
I can manually delete folders like captures in video but after a restart the folder is created again automatically by Windows.
How can I delete it permanently so it won't create it again?
Thanks.

It's a default folder, such have been around through several versions of Windows, just one of those things we've had to live with.
... to 'Unhide' it:
attrib -s -h "C:\Users\xxxxxx\Videos\Captures"
I show all hidden folders in Windoss by setting Show hidden files,folders so this is not the right way.
If a way to stop Windows from creating please share :)
Since it is a Default Folder it may be a situation where one could edit the program files of Windows to change some actions then recompile them but then that would be violating the licensing agreement accepted during install. According to most EULAs [End User License Agreement] we only buy the license to use the programs, ownership of the software remains with the publishers.
Customizations are nice but since Win10 is classed as a WaaS [Windows as a Service] or SaaS [Software as a Service] each succeeding Version Upgrade may remove those customizations putting Win10 back to a default setup. That's just an accept or not scenario. It's also part of why Linux is around, call it a spin-off from Unix if you will, but it is free and software publishers can create programs to run on it but there's always things for Windows or Macintosh that won't run on it, all depends upon what one needs.
All that to say some things in an Operating System simply have to be accepted as "that's the way it is". The gentleman that came up with Linux apparently didn't care for the way Unix worked so created an alternative [which I also run]. That's also why there's a large number of Linux versions available, others had 'better' ideas. There's other competitors to Windows that are now obscure, OS2 and Lindows to name just a couple. And we can always throw Apple's Macintosh into the mix.
