Stop Applications From Using Public Documents and Public Desktop

I've been having trouble ever since performing a factory reset of my computer with applications automatically wanting to use the Public Documents and Public Desktop folders. For example, after installing Adobe CC applications, the "Adobe" folder is added to 'C:\Users\Public\Public Documents\ ' instead of the preferred 'C:\Users\Zack\Documents'. Also, Adobe will automatically add shortcuts to 'C:\Users\Public\Public Desktop' instead of the preferred 'C:\Users\Zack\Desktop. This issue is present when installing any application, not just Adobe CC products.

I have absolutely no use for the 'Public' folder, as I am the sole user of my PC, and don't plan on having multiple User Accounts. Is there a way to stop newly installed applications/programs from using the Public folder by default, and instead have programs use my User folder by default?

This issue started after performing a factory reset/clean reinstall of Windows 10.

First off, I haven't had any programs so far give me the option of "Install for Only You/All Users".

Admittedly, it's more so an issue of convenience. I would prefer to expect all of my documents to appear in my user 'Documents' folder. I don't want to go hunt for missing documents in my Public folder. Yes, I realize that's nit picky, I'd prefer Windows to just work the way it's supposed to. Not to mention, after owning several Windows machines through the years, I've never seen this happen.
