Cannot change Documents folder...

Hello,

I am running Windows 7 in Parallels Desktop for Mac. I did an Express installation, which means that the 'Documents' library was initially routed to \\psf\Home\Documents.
Now I am annoyed by the fact that my Windows applications actually create a lot of folders in 'Documents', notably default folder created when some applications start, which pollutes my Documents folder on the Mac side. So I decided to change the 'Documents' library settings to make sure that the 'Save' folder is somewhere else, but my Windows applications keep on creating their folder in \\psf\Home\Documents, as if they were not using the 'Documents' library...
Would this path be hardwired somewhere else in my Windows now ??

Thanks a lot for your help

Well, once again I posted too fast... You need to disable the 'Documents' mapping from the Parallels configuration to really break this link.
But then, the folders created by the Windows applications end up in C:\Users\{username}\Documents, and not in the locations specified in the 'Documents' library, which still makes me wonder why they ignore this.
