Default "Hiding" My Documents

The rubbish way that MS implemented the file system in things like Pocket Word is beginning to irritate me. I have "My Documents" in the main memory and I have one on my SD Card. I put everything onto the SD card, but loads of apps have installed stuff like setting files and so on, into the main memory.

Now when I open Pocket Word, I get a huge list of everything in all directories.....how do I make things like Pocket Word/Excel NOT look in the My Documents directory in main memory, but only look in the one on the SD card?

Any hints would be really great.

As far as I know, it's not possible...or, at least, fiendishly difficult for ordinary mortals not working for MS or its preferred partners.

I did hours of googling, but had to accept that you need two "My Documents" folders, the MS one and one on your SD card.

Also, you need to reflect the same subfolders on your SD card, such as "My Library" for the least inconvenience.

Not the answer you're looking for, I know. If you find a better one, do fill the rest of us in, please.
