Microsoft has always been bad at folder and path naming.

Visual Studio Project Location -> %USER%\source\repos instead of a short %USER%\Projects My Documents instead of Documents. My Pictures instead of Pictures.

%Windows%\SysWow64 -> storing 32bit DLLs %Windows%\System32 -> storing 64bit DLLs %Windows%\System -> storing 16bit DLLs

"Documents and Settings" instead of Home of Users.

"Program Files" instead of "Applications"

Their registry paths are even worse with setting names using double negatives.
