The author might prefer those paths to the Windows ones.
It's generally a better practice *not* to use the "My ..." folders.
Their names are longer, contain spaces, are used by any number of programs
as default, and Windows will keep resetting their rights if you change
them.
Even Microsoft caught on and has started to simplify the directory
structure. For instance, they changed the "Do***ents & Settings" directory
to "users" in Vista. Clean, short, ... better. Should have been "home",
but
hey...
