When listening to music or viewing pictures, there is automatically created
folders like MyMusic or MyPictures in in Windows Explorer. How can I prevent
these folders from being automatically generated.

They are system folders which I believe are automatically created, just like
My Documents
Why worry?

folders to maintain efficiency and overview. Thankful for an answer!

Having these folders or not does nothing for efficiency.
I would google for the registry settings you will have to make in order to
disable this
