If you don't want the system to create or change the XDG directories then you can create a file ~/.config/user-dirs.conf with enable=0 I haven't tested that. I don't know if your user-dirs.dirs file is recreated because you *deleted* some lines instead of setting an alternative location, neither the man page for user-dirs.dirs nor xdg-user-dirs-update is clear about it, at least not for my German brain. Otherwise, as Slàvek and Mike have pointed out you can edit the file ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs and set the directories you want. If you don't want a directory to be created, then set it to an already existing path like "$HOME". You can edit that file in TDE Control Center like Slàvek said. If nothing works out, read the man page(s)! ;-) $ man user-dirs.conf $ man user-dirs.dirs $ man xdg-user-dirs-update (In this case, though, they didn't help me understand completely how this XDG users dirs thing works.)
